Daltrey is the first solo album by The Who's lead singer, Roger Daltrey. It was first released in 1973. The album took six weeks to record during January and February 1973. Sessions took place at Roger's Barn Studio, Burwash, East Sussex, where the backing tracks were laid down; vocals, overdubs, and mixing were completed at The Beatles' Apple Studios at 3 Savile Row (the vocals for "One Man Band (reprise)" were recorded on the Apple rooftop, where The Beatles had performed their famous final concert in January 1969), and at Nova Sound Studios.[1]
With one exception, the songs were all co-written by the previously unknown Leo Sayer, who later became a well-known singer in his own right. The song "One Man Band," which begins and ends this album, is one of Sayer's signature tunes.
