About this album

Two Sides of the Moon is the only studio album by Keith Moon, best known as the drummer for The Who. Originally released in March 1975, the album contains original songs written by John Lennon and Harry Nilsson among others, as well as covers of songs by The Beach Boys and The Beatles, and a version of “The Kids Are Alright”, originally recorded by The Who.

Moon himself plays drums only on three tracks, opting instead to perform only lead vocals; percussion for other songs were performed by Ringo Starr, as well as a score of session musicians, among them actor Miguel Ferrer and prolific drummer Jim Keltner. Moon and Starr also share lead vocals on “Together”, mostly a tirade of intentionally bad jokes over a backing track.

2006 saw the release of a Deluxe Edition of the album on compact disc, which included a newly remastered album, alternative mixes, previously unissued material and an entire bonus CD of studio outtakes (among them a version of The Who’s “My Generation”).

The album’s title is a play on Pink Floyd’s album The Dark Side of the Moon. Indeed, it extends into a visual pun, as well; the original LP album cover contained a cutout hole that displayed a specific design on the sleeve inside. One side depicted Moon dressed up as a British gentleman with an escort, while the other side displayed his bare backside.
