2. If I recall,

Speedy Keen died just before the release of the album.

And the Band included Pete Townsend, who does many or all of the vocals.

3. No, Keen lived till 2002. He was recording his third solo album when he died.

This single came out in 1969, and the band released their only album in 1970.

Speedy Keen handled the lead vocals, with Andy Newman and Jimmy McCulloch handling backing vocals. Pete Townshend played bass on the records but wasn't credited with any vocals. He did form the band, though, introducing the musicians to one another, and he produced their records.
