Excerpts From Tommy - 45(s) Box Set - A
Title/Format/Rating: 25 Alternates '64-'70 - CD - A
Year & Country Issued/Label: 2015 - n/a - Decca
Comments: Compilation of officially released rarities. It lists "Legal Matter" as an "alternate" - but there was only one take of the song.

Title/Format/Rating: Alternate Rarities - CD - A-
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1996 - Japan - XXBCD
Comments: Mostly (if not all) dubs off of good vinyl bootlegs. A good combination of studio rarities, unreleased tracks, Pete Townshend demos and live High Numbers. The speed is a bit slow for "That Motherland Feeling/Rael"...

Title/Format/Rating: Alternate Tommy - CD - A
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1997 - Japan - Element of Crime
Comments: Pete Townshend demos of "Tommy", with the two John Entwistle songs being mono outtakes. Basically the same disc as "The Tommy Demos". However, where as that disc is "bass heavy", this one is a bit "bass light", sounding more like a professional release, vs. a real good bootleg.
Track Listing: Overture, It's A Boy, 1921, Amazing Journey, Sparks, Christmas, Cousin Kevin, The Acid Queen, Underture, Do You Think It's Alright?, Fiddle About, Pinball Wizard, There's A Doctor, Go To The Mirror, Success, Tommy Can You Hear Me?, Smash The Mirror, Sensation, Miracle Cure, Sally Simpson, I'm Free, Welcome, Tommy's Holiday Camp, We're Not Gonna Take It

Title/Format/Rating: Archives - LP - A-
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1979 - Australia - Tin Can
Comments: This is a great vinyl bootleg. It contains the best demo version of "That Motherland Feeling/Rael", which is recorded exactly between 33 & 45RPM, so make sure your turntable has a wide variance on its pitch control! Some of the tracks are poorer quality (i.e. "I'm A Boy"), but overall, it's a winner.
Track Listing:
Demos: That Motherland Feeling/Rael, Do The Strip, Kill My
Appetite, Disguises, Don't Look Away, I'm A Boy, Glow Girl
Who Studio: Girls Eyes, Top
Gear, Summertime Blues, Radio One, Happy Jack, Radio One, My Generation, Coca

Who Studio: The Seeker
Title/Format/Rating: Archives - CD - C-
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1990 - Unknown - Unknown
Comments: Most of these tracks are from the aborted '89 Box Set. Unfortunately, this particular release suffers from super high frequencies, making it virtually unlistenable without some serious adjustments to your tone controls.

Again, Song Is Over
Title/Format/Rating: The BBC Files - CD - B+
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1988 - Unknown - Pyramid
Comments: I think this was the first BBC CD boot. Good in its time, but surpassed by the Hiwatt, "Maximum BBC", which is the BBC CD to have.
Track Listing: Just You And Me, Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere, My Generation, Substitute, A Man With Money, Dancing In The Street, Disguises, I'm A Boy, So Sad About Us, Happy Jack, Boris The Spider, See My Way, I Can See For Miles, Summertime Blues

Title/Format/Rating: Classified - LP - B+
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1971 - USA - Cat n Dog
Comments: A very misleading bootleg... The cover indicates all kinds of rarities for its day. However, the plain labeled, LP, contains nothing more than "The Genius Of Pete Townshend".
Track Listing: Pure And Easy, Behind Blue Eyes, Going Mobile, Mary, Time Is Passing, Love Ain't For Keeping, Won't Get Fooled Again, The Song Is Over
Title/Format/Rating: Collection The Who - CD - A

Title/Format/Rating: The Collector's Who Sell Out - CD - A
Year & Country Issued/Label: 2000 - USA - Five Dollar Records
Comments: The only "collector's" thing about this CD, is that certain collectors got stuck with it! Great sound quality, but sort of pointless. The source is the original mix German CD, the "30 Years of Maximum R&B" box set and a few Pete Townshend demos stuck on the end.
Track Listing: Armenia City In The Sky, Heinz Baked Beans, Mary Anne With The Shaky Hands, Odorono, Tattoo, Our Love Was, I Can See For Miles, I Can't Reach You, Medac, Relax, Silas Stingy, Sunrise, Rael (parts 1&2) Early Morning Cold Taxi, Coca Cola, Girls Eyes, Bag O Nails, Jaguar, Melancholia, John Mason, Cousin Kevin Model Child, Tattoo, Little Billy, Relax, That Motherland Feeling, Hot Coffee
Title/Format/Rating: The Collector's Who's Next - CD - A
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1999 - USA - Tendollar
Comments: The back cover states, "From the German Polydor master tapes, the only true stereo version of the original mixes that exists!" However, all they did was dub the inferior, original mix German Polydor CD and slap on some common bonus tracks. Another rip-off !
Track Listing: Baba O'Riley, Bargain, Love Ain't For Keeping, My Wife, Song Is Over, Getting In Tune, Going Mobile, Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled Again, The Seeker, Let's See Action, Join Together, The Relay, Pure And Easy, Love Ain't For Keeping, Behind Blue Eyes, Getting In Tune

Title/Format/Rating: Dancing In The Street - LP - B+
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1983 - USA - Savage
Comments: A combination of demos & BBC tracks, all obsolete compared to some of the CD releases of the same material.

Title/Format/Rating: The Demo Tapes - LP - A-

Comments: n/a
Track Listing: Dogs
Title/Format/Rating: Exciting The Who - CD - B
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1996 - Japan - Midas Touch
Comments: Nothing really exciting about this CD, other than the cover and "Time Is Passing". Interestingly enough, the undamaged channel from this song is just the opposite as the undamaged channel on the tape used for the official remix of "Odds & Sods". When "slapped" back together, you can create your own true stereo version of the song.
Track Listing: Won't Get Fooled Again, Too Much Of Anything, I Don't Even Know Myself, Time Is Passing, Bargain, My Generation Medley
Title/Format/Rating: Exciting The Who - CD (Box Set) - A
Year & Country Issued/Label: 2005 - Japan - Unknown
Comments: High quality box set and faithful recreation of the 1st 4, original Japan Who LPs and inserts. The sound quality seems to be created from using professional equipment to dub right off of clean copies of the vinyl LPs, with a minimum of crackles to clearly represent what those 4 original albums sounded like (unfortunately, the sound quality on the original "My Generation" wasn't too good to begin with).
Track Listing:
My Generation: My Generation, Please,
Please, Please, It's Not True, The Ox, The Kids Are Alright, Instant Party, A
Legal Matter, Out In The Street, The Good's Gone, La La La Lies, Much Too Much
I'm A Boy:

Relax, Silas Stingy, Sunrise, Rael-1, Rael-2
Exciting The Who:
Happy Jack, Pictures Of Lily, Substitute, I've Been Away, Doctor, Doctor, Waltz
For A Pig, The Last Time, Under My Thumb, So Sad About Us, A Quick One, While
He's Away
Title/Format/Rating: Exciting The Who - LP - A
Year & Country Issued/Label: 2013 - UK - Polyboy
Comments: Excellent reproduction artwork of the 1968 Japan LP. Contents seem to be lifted from the 2009 "The Who Sell Out" Deluxe Edition

Title/Format/Rating: Excerpts From Tommy - (4) 45(s) (Box Set) - A
Year & Country Issued/Label: 1969 - USA - Unknown
Comments: Pirated copy of official USA Radio Station promo box. Includes insert and 4 singles. See: http://www.thewho.info/WhoSingles8.htm for official version.

Track Listing: 1) Amazing Journey/Acid Queen, 2) Go To The Mirror Boy/Tommy Can You Hear Me?, 3) Smash The Mirror/Sensation. 4) Sally Simpson/I'm Free
