Rigor Mortis Sets In is the third solo studio album by the English rock musician John Entwistle, who was the bassist for the Who at that time.
Co-produced by Entwistle and John Alcock, it consists of two 1950s rock and roll covers, one 1960s cover, a new version of the Entwistle song "My Wife" from the Who's fifth studio album Who's Next (1971), and new tracks (only six of the ten songs were new). Rigor Mortis Sets In set in motion Entwistle assembling his own touring unit during the increasing periods of the Who's inactivity.
Rigor Mortis Sets In had a rough launch due to its title and cover art. BBC Radio refused to play the album and banned it, ironically in part due to the influence of disc jockey (DJ) Jimmy Savile who had just suffered a death in his family. The album's US debut was problematic for MCA Records (Track's new American distributor), who insisted on appending the artist's name to the title, out of concern that the album's sales would be weak without the Entwistle name in the title.
