Parting Should Be Painless
''Parting Should Be Painless'' is the fifth studio album by the English musician Roger Daltrey. The album was originally released in early 1984 on the labels Atlantic, in the United States, and on WEA in Germany, and Japan. The album was Daltrey's first solo album since the first breakup of The Who, and the first by any member of the band. "Walking in My Sleep", "Parting Would Be Painless", and "Would A Stranger Do" were all released as singles. Two of those singles failed to chart, while "Walking in My Sleep" was a success, peaking at #4 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
On release, the album was received negatively by the majority of music critics. It was Daltrey's poorest selling studio album up to that point, peaking at #102 on the US ''Billboard'' chart, however it did make the Top 60 in the Netherlands, peaking at #45 on the MegaCharts. The album was produced by Mike Thorne, with the executive producer listed under the pseudonym "Spike". This is presumably the same female whom was credited as the executive producer of Pete Townshend's compilation album ''Scoop'', later revealed to be Helen Wilkins. The album was re-released as a limited edition audio CD on 12 October 2004, by Wounded Bird Records, but it vanished from the market almost as quickly as it was issued, becoming something of a rarity and by 2014 copies in very good condition were trading for £250.〔http://www.thewho.info/RDAlbums2.htm〕
The album was a concerted effort on Daltrey's part to vent his frustrations in the wake of The Who's breakup by assembling a set of roughly autobiographical songs. These include a track contributed by the Eurythmics ("Somebody Told Me") and one contributed by Bryan Ferry ("Going Strong"). The album also features contributions from Norman Watt-Roy, and Mick Gallagher whom were both members of Ian Dury and the Blockheads. It also features contributions from the critically acclaimed saxophonist Michael Brecker, and from two prolific session musicians Chris Spedding, and Allan Schwartzberg.
==Production and recording==
Musically, says Daltrey, the album covers areas he had wanted The Who to pursue. "Pete () and I both said The Who was an alternative to heavy metal, but toward the end, John () got more into that and Pete () and I further away from it. Because we were compromising so much, we ended up just settling into what we knew how to do best. It bored me to tears, and I know it bored Pete () to tears, too."
