"Substitute" enters the British charts. The NME's Derek Johnson reviews the single calling it "a great hunk of commercial beat" but agreeing with Steve Marriott that he doesn't like it as much as 'My Generation.' Another article in the same NME mentions that Pete is producing a new London group called The Cat that includes future Thunderclap Newman drummer John "Speedy" Keene and future Empty Glass producer Chris Thomas. A cover of a new Townshend composition, "Run Run Run", is scheduled for single release on the 18th but it is cancelled before it appears.

 

If anyone has this issue of NME, please share!!
