McVicar is the soundtrack to the film McVicar and the fourth solo studio album by the English rock singer Roger Daltrey, the lead vocalist for the Who. The film, a biopic of the English convicted one-time armed robber John McVicar, was produced by Daltrey and also featured him in the starring role as John McVicar. All of the then-members of the Who played on the album.
The album was released in June 1980, on Polydor PD-1-6284 in the US. It was produced by Jeff Wayne and recorded at Advision Studios, London. Daltrey's vocals were recorded at AIR Studios, Montserrat, West Indies. The album reached number 22 in the US and produced Daltrey's highest charting solo single to date, "Without Your Love".
In 2001, the Swedish hip-hop group Infinite Mass used Daltrey's song "My Time Is Gonna Come" (as well as the bassline in the song) for their International hit "Bullet". The music video for "Bullet" composites clips from the film McVicar with new footage.
