Live at the Royal Albert Hall ~ Released: 07.22.03
The Who wrapped up their 2000 World Tour--possibly their final wave of the
Union Jack hankie now that John Entwhistle has died--with this red-carpet
Teenage Cancer Trust charity shindig at the Royal Albert Hall. Time has taken
its toll on some of the Who's more splenetic sensibilities; there are...

The Ultimate Collection ~ Released: 06.11.02
The Who's mighty catalog of beautiful, poignant, and often silly pop songs
bashed out with Cassius Clay finesse has suffered in the past at the hands of
multiple, butcher-shop best-ofs and horrible packaging. But this thrilling
band--undeniably one of ye classicke rocke's greatest--gets the...

BBC Sessions ~ Released: 02.15.00
One of the most creative and explosive bands of the '60s, the Who didn't record
an official live album until 1970. For fans of the revved-up, introspective,
and humorous fare that made records such as My Generation, Sell Out, and A
Quick One instant classics, 1970 was a good three years too late....

20th Century Masters ~ Released: 04.06.99
The Best of the Who? Well, perhaps. This set does contain 9 of the 16 Top 40
hits the Who scored in the U.S. between 1967 and '82. But try as they did early
on to be a chart-topping act, the Who's career ultimately isn't about hit
singles; it's more about Pete Townshend's grand concept albums....

Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970 ~ Released: 10.29.96
I've been a Who fan since a teen in the 60s, listening to 45s such as Happy
Jack, I'm a Boy, Magic Bus, and later into the 70s. In 70-7l Live at Leeds was
issued, definitely one of the finest live r&r albums ever. This Isle of Wight
material lay in the vaults for 25 years, only to see day's ....

My Generation: The Very Best Of The Who ~ Released: 08.27.96
This fourth single-disc repackaging of the Who's hits is a definitive catalog
item with decent liner notes, brilliantly remastered sound and 19 deathless
Townshend gems from "I Can't Explain" through "You Better You Bet." ...

It's Hard [Remaster] ~ Released: 06.03.97
It's Hard was the last original studio effort by one rock's all-time greatest
acts. While it's not Tommy, Quadrophenia or Who's Next, it is a solid effort
and a definite improvement over Face Dances. "Eminence Front" has a popping
guitar riff and is as good as anything Pete Townshend has done ...

Face Dances [Remaster] ~ Released: 06.03.97
The magic was not lost; it was a different kind of magic. The loss of Mr. Moon
put the Who on the edge. Face a new carrier, being an old band, must be hard,
really, but the point is that they tried to keep the flame burning and they did
it well. The post-Moon Who was merely a rock band, like many ...

The Kids Are Alright (Sdtk) ~ Released: 04.17.01
I saw "The Kids Are Alright" in the theater when it was first released, and the
video version suffers only from the amputated "A Quick One While He's Away"
number from the infamous Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus. Probably had
something to do with the Stones' fickleness...

Who Are You [Remaster] ~ Released: 11.19.96
Posited between punk (Pete Townshend's instinctive ethos) and progressive (much
of the music), Who Are You is ultimately a failed attempt to conciliate two
camps that thrived on their opposition to one another. Neither the insurgent
punks of Johnny Rotton's generation nor Townshend's comfortably...

The Who By Numbers [Remaster] ~ Released: 11.19.96
This 1975 collection excels in large part due to its modest goal. It's the
Who's singer-songwriter record. Without the ostensible shield his "rock operas"
provided, Pete Townshend's personal demons strut about nakedly. Not a pretty
sight, but an involving spectacle nevertheless.

Odds And Sods [Remaster] ~ Released: 11.19.96
By the mid-'70s, even The Who's leftovers had more interest than most rock
best-of albums--"Glow Girl" is a concise blueprint of 1969's "Tommy"; "Naked
Eye" and "Pure and Easy" were victims of the doomed Lifehouse project; "I'm the
Face" was the band's mod-obsessed first single; and even "Little Billy," an
antismoking advertisement, still rocks hard. John Entwistle's faux country "Now
I'm a Farmer" was contemptible, but the closing anthem "Long Live Rock"
redeemed such missteps. The 1998 CD reissue added studio versions of "Young Man
Blues" and "Summertime Blues," among many others, and resequenced the tracks.
