Where Did I Go Right? is English singer-songwriter John Otway's first solo album. [4] Released in 1979 it was Otway's first departure from working with Wild Willy Barrett, and his first working with a different backing band. [2] Most of the tracks were salvaged from an aborted attempt to record an album during August and September 1978 at Mountain Studios.
