As The Who weren't afraid of being funny, this silver disc does 'em good. There are even more bits of a 1973 Keith Moon BBC Radio 1 special that first appeared on the Maximum R&B box set. The funniest part is the Daltrey-Townshend dialogue before a take of Behind Blue Eyes in the studio. The Name Game, with Pete and Keith, is also funny. There's an alternate version of The Real Me that has a cool rhythm to it. This one sees lots of time in my stereo as I love the track list.
The centerpieces of this set:
- "Jaguar" and "Virginia" in superior quality.
- The "Life With The Moons" BBC spots. The box set has some of these, but they were treated to tons of NoNoise, and are often truncated. This disc has them (sourced from reference vinyl, so there is some rumble and some pops) in the full-length glory, in stereo with nice, uncompressed sound.
A lot of this material eventually appeared on the Jon Astley remasters of The Who's catalogue (notably the adverts that were worked into the re-tooled _The Who Sell Out_).
This is a must-have for any Who afficionado.
