In my opinion the best Who vinyl collection. All songs or versions are rare one way or another. It has non-LP A:s and B:s and EP tracks and each cut has the original mono mix. There's also mid-sixties live takes from UK TV-shows. The audio is good - or at least as good as you can expect from the groups early recordings. It is a bootleg and I'm normally not into that, but simple fact is no official issue even comes close in affluence - just look at the song list! Recording quality shifts a little, most cuts sounds like from original studio tapes but a few may be dubbed from vinyl. What the guys behind this did was simple - taking the original mono mixes without meddling or faking and giving it a good pressing. And since evidently non of the big companies owning the rights to the recordings thought that was a good idea at the time, I'm happy for this. Most of the tracks have been issued later on vinyl or CD (as far as I know this is still the only place you can find "Substitute" US '45 B-side "Walz For A Pig" apart from on the single itself), but if you want it all in one place, analog on vinyl, this is still it. At least two cover variations exist. To my knowledge the one shown here is the first. There's also a multitude of label types - with pictures, different colors, stamped information or just blank. Wich one is original depends on who you ask. (WÖH*)(PÖP*)(ÖRJ*)
