Notes


The sound quality varies from excellent soundboard to scratchy with noticable "hiss" on some of the older recordings. However, this does not detract from the overall quality of this release. This is really a great CD with very nice packaging. Comes in a gatefold digi-pack with a plastic tray. The inside front cover features the cover of the European release entitled THE WHO (black cover with the four band members featured on the cover). This particular release also features a cover used on previous CD and LP bootleg releases of the BBC sessions. Tracks 22-25 can also be found on Live At Fillmore East, 1968
