THE WHO: |
The disc starts and ends with two of the band's commercials for the BBC, set to the tune of "My Generation" and "Boris the Spider." Between these tracks, you get a wide sampling of the band's hits and assorted albums tracks, along with a few things that most fans haven't had a chance to hear. Especially noteworthy are the extended version of "Relay" and a rare version of "Long Live Rock" where Pete Townshend shares the vocals with Roger Daltrey. On the latter, Townshend flubs the lyrics on the last verse, adding a bit of humor to things. The booklet is loaded with photos, and features extensive liner notes. Obviously, this disc is a must-have for any Who fan (yes, even if you already have the boots). But newbies and casual listeners will find it enjoyable as well. Highly recommended. |
