Binding: Audio CDBrand: WHO EAN: 0008811287726 Format: Extra tracks, Limited Edition, Original recording remastered Label: Mca Manufacturer: Mca MPN: 008811287726 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Mca Release Date: June 11, 2002 Studio: Mca Editorial Review: Product Description: \N Amazon.com: 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 career-spanning entry-point compilation it deserves with the double-disc Ultimate Collection. The songs included here are no-brainers, for the most part--if they aren't huge hits like "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," or "Baba O'Riley," they're long-standing fan favorites such as "Boris the Spider," "Pure and Easy," and "Squeeze Box." And while this reviewer wishes different songs were chosen from Tommy, and more than one tune was gathered from their arguably finest (and definitely silliest) album, The Who Sell Out, this record really isn't for fans (aside from the total trainspotter types) but for newcomers. --Mike McGonigal Average Rating:

Something was "off" with the sound on the cd. I still enjoyed this Rating:  - MarvelousVery nice album and very nice to have in the collection Guy Zoetermeer, the Netherlands Rating: - Awesome CDThe Who were such a great band!!! And this CD is a great collection of their songs. Rating: - The essence of Who excitement. Essential!I've been a fan of theirs since the mid 60's and always felt their earlier recordings to be the most exuberant, spontaneous and whimsically creative. After their peak with Who's Next (1971), they took themselves way too seriously with Quadrophenia and then after that they sounded angry and lost their youthful innocence, which was so charmingly foppish to begin with. To me, the first CD is the best, it features early quirky gems like: The Kids Are Allright, Happy Jack, Boris The Spider, I'm a Boy, ... Read More |
