Description
A second collected volume of demo versions of songs destined to be considered for recording by The Who, this 1987 release on Atco Records is an even stronger collection than it's 1983 predecessor. It (again) contains rough, acoustic workups of many Who standards in their infant form such as "You Better You Bet," "Pinball Wizard," "Happy Jack," "Substitute," "Pictures of Lily" and "The Kids Are Alright" among others. The curiosity lies solely in the head-arrangements on songs that were to become associated with time and enveloped within, Roger Daltry's vocal gymnastics. Here, sung by Townshend himself, one can sense the writer's distinct persona. . The comparison to eventual "more famous" versions is fascinating in most cases. The exposure of these workups reveals how great these songs really are, stripped down Track Listing 1. You Better You Bet 2. Girl In A Suitcase 3. Brooklyn Kids 4. Pinball Wizard 5.
