** Towsend also didn't like "Out in the Street":

* CreatorBacklash: The band don't look back fondly on the album. They dismissed it as a rush job (it was recorded in only a week) that didn't accurately represent their stage performances of that point in their career.

* ThrowItIn: Roger Daltrey's stutter on the title track came from him not having rehearsed the song before recording and being unable to hear himself on the monitor. The band and producer Shel Tamy liked the effect, and left it in the recording.
