US version of the UK "A Quick One" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/04/whoa-quick-one-593002.html . That is a classic in many ways, but as carried by, to my taste, rather bad audio I'm having a hard time to enjoy it to the fullest. This however is somewhat better to the mind. "Heatwave" is replaced by the in UK 45 only "Happy Jack" and the audio is slightly improved. While much of the UK issue is too loud and muddy for me to get all in, this is mostly clearer with better separation, which allows me to dive deeper and enjoy the songs more. Almost same story as with the first US mono version of the "My Generation" LP https://monolover.blogspot.com/2023/03/the-who-sings-my-generation-dl-4664-66.html , which also had different tracking and came out better to the ears than the UK original. I'm aware later CD issues of the tracks may be even clearer and better separated, but those are all afterthoughts and since it was meant to be pressed on vinyl to start with that's where I wanna be to sort things out. To my knowledge this version was released on vinyl in US and Canada only, also as cassette and 8-track. Japan 2021 CD on Oldays Records (ODR 6964) came with mono and stereo versions of all songs. Premiere US, also as stereo (DL 74892), had label as shown here in a laminated cover. (YZÄ*) (WÖH*) (ÖXCÅ*)
