BACKTRACK 5 - WHO/HENDRIX 2407 005 (-70) UK

As the two previous issues in the serie entirely dedicated to The Who and Jimi Hendrix. All tracks are the common versions and there's no especially rare cuts or odd mixes. "Boris The Spider" is mono. "Magic Bus", "Manic Depression" and "Love Or Confusion" sounds like carefully made fake stereos, but OK if you don't listen too closely. The rest are true stereo. So it's more of an average compilation, but not without benefits. Back then when LP:s were relatively expensive in most European countries it was a blast getting an album with original numbers from the best groups for under £1. And in a way it still can be rewarding. For exemple for you who don't like buying UK originals of "Electric Ladyland" or "Tommy" to collectors prices, there's a couple of good tracks from them here, released just about a year later on the same label with top audio. If you want early press on vinyl this is an affordable alternative. First UK with label as shown here and thin glossy cover. (XXÖ*) (SÄM*)(WÖH*)(JHÄ*)(TRÄC*)
