commentsThis 2022 half-speed-mastered, repress of The Who’s 3rd record sounds ridiculously good. Entwistle’s bass guitar especially comes to the fore but there’s amazing staging of all instruments.
commentsThe themes were: 15 minutes of music from 1967
commentsI’ve always wanted to re-get this on vinyl (I gave my first LP away in the early 2000s) and was seething with jealousy when fellow shut up and listener, brother Ricardo showed me his big blue.
commentsThere’s no shortage of Who compilations. For me, this is the big, vinyl-worth one. 21 brilliant tracks covering 50 years, this is the ultimate showcase of their greatest, radio-friendly hits.
commentsThe themes were: An iconic, revered track that challenges the mainstream., A stand-alone track or one that is representative of an album not appreciated at “the time” but redeemed by further scrutiny., Let the fireworks begin - it’s Guy Fawkes after-all.
commentsIt’s taken all of the last 25 years to find a proper version of this record with the correct unadulterated track listing.
commentsThe theme was: You have a total of up to 18 minutes (or less) at your disposal to play and fill as you wish (and that others can bear).
commentsThe themes were: The “BANG” record, where it shifted or consolidated again, Extra Track (Quiz Winner), The “BOOM” record, where it all began
commentsThe themes were: Three Piece, Four Piece, Five Piece
commentsBought the magnificent Tommy Deluxe box while in Wellington recently. I’d skipped it on several occasions as it was just too expensive.
commentsThe themes were: F@%# Off 2016! - A song or musical moment that exorcises the ghosts from 2016. , Now that’s a bit random - Randomly select 3 albums (CD or vinyl only - no video) and bring them along, Who let the cows out - The track you select must contain a cow bell as an instrument.
commentsTheme: Births, Deaths and Marriages
commentsThe themes were: US States, Anything Goes, Anything Goes Again, Signature Tunes
