The Who - Solo Rarities:
Scattered throughout the website are various rarities - i.e. hard to find tracks, from singles, LPs or CDs that are scarce or out of print. This section specifically identifies and consolidates these tracks - hopefully making them easier to find for you. If the rarity has more than one source, I will list what I consider the most common.
Please note that what is not included here are "borderline" rarities - that is, tracks by other artists that might feature a guitar track, backing vocal or other "guest appearance". If there is "enough" of a "Who solo presence", then it will be included in this section. All other tracks that are "less than borderline" can be found in the Who Related Albums and Who Related Singles sections.
If you see something missing that you feel should be listed in this section, please e-mail me and I will certainly consider adding it.
Next to many of the tracks, click on the MP3 link for a "taste" (less than 30 seconds) of what the song sounds like.

Cousin Kevin (demo - remixed) - 1968 - Stereo remix demo for Tommy. Pete Townshend had stated that this demo and "Fiddle About" (below), that made their way to bootlegs, were in fact the actual demos of the songs (vs. simply mono versions of the same) MP3 (Note: These actually appear to be more "work-in-process" band performances vs. "demos")
Fiddle About (demo - remixed) - 1968 - Stereo demo intended for Tommy MP3
Heaven & Hell (demo version) - 1970 - Demo version for the Smash Your Head Against The Wall album MP3
Rest In Peace (demo) - 1970 - Demo of "Ted End" for the Smash Your Head Against The Wall album MP3
Green Lady (demo) - 1970 - Unused demo for the Smash Your Head Against The Wall album. The instrumental portion sounds like an early version of Horror Rock (Music From Van Pires) and the vocal portion seems to be a reworking of the "Facts Of Life" demo intended for Tommy MP3
She's A Witch (demo) - 1970 - Unused demo for the Smash Your Head Against The Wall album. This is an early version of "Bogey Man" from Music From Van Pires MP3What Are We Doing Here?

What Are We Doing Here? (USA LP vocal version) - 1970 - After John recorded the Smash Your Head Against The Wall album and it was released in the UK and Europe, he changed some of the mixes.

To The Chop - 1974 - John contributed his unique bass playing to the entire, Flash Fearless vs. The Zorg Women Parts 5&6. However, he also sings lead vocals on this song. The most common source is: the Flash Fearless vs. The Zorg Women Parts 5&6 CD MP3
Cell Number 7 (alternate version) - 1975 - A bit of confusion on labeling here. For the Mad Dog CDs, John used an overdubbed "Boris The Spider" type vocal MP3. However, the original LP (and single) used a 1950's style vocal MP3 - Hence, the "single version" listed as a bonus track on various "Mad Dog" CDs, is simply the original album version.
Cell Number 7 (alternate version #2) - 1975 - This is the version from the rare Old Grey Whistle Test video (mixed to stereo) MP3 Compare to the Mad Dog album version MP3Mad Dog (alternate version) - 1975 - This is the version from the rare Old Grey Whistle Test video and features John singing along with the female vocalists (mixed to stereo) MP3 Compare to the Mad Dog album version MP3
Success Story (demo) - 1975 - Instrumental demo for The Who By Numbers album MP3
Good Days Coming (demo) - 1977 - This was a demo intended for the Who Are You album. The lyrics are far from "politically correct" and most likely this song will never be officially released MP3
Bogey Man (demo - 1st version) - 1977 - This was a demo intended for the Who Are You album and features Keith Moon on drums. The demo began its life earlier (see above "She's A Witch" from 1970) but John reworked it and greatly improved it. As the story goes, John played the song to the band, and Pete couldn't stop laughing. This really upset John and the song remained in the vault until it was played to his <solo> band members who absolutely loved it and wanted to complete the song for the Music For Van Pires album MP3
Bogey Man (demo - 2nd version) - 1977 - This is the 2nd Version of the demo. This version has different lyrics (compare with the above) and other changes, which begin ~1:26.

Dancing Master (work-in-process) - 1979 - This is the bass solo from a band outtake/session for the Too Late The Hero album MP3 Compare to the demo version MP3 and the Too Late The Hero version MP3
Back On The Road (various) - 1980 - This is a song that took John ~20 years to release. It began its life as a demo for Face Dances with Kenney Jones on drums MP3 (A distorted and over-modulated version of this demo somehow ended up on the 2005/2006 Whistle Rymes CD as a bonus track). When it appeared to be rejected for Face Dances, John moved on to try to fit it on Too Late The Hero and continued to work on the song MP3 (work-in-process version). Finally, in 1998, when reviewing old tapes for the Music For Van Pires sessions, John and his band thought this would be a great song to complete and include MP3 (Music For Van Pires 2000 CD version)
Countryside Boogie (demo/work-in-process) - 1980 - The working title of this song was "Wild Horses" and apparently was intended for John's Too Late The Hero album. A distorted (and over-modulated) version of the demo was released on the 2005/2006 Whistle Rymes (John's 1972 album). Here is a clean version of the demo MP3. Compare the demo to the Too Late The Hero sessions work-in-process version MP3
Hotlicks
- 1981 - This is the instructional bass series that John did both on Cassette and VHS/DVD. The series is a combination of "instructions" as well as tons of bass riffs (69 tracks between the cassette and Video(s). The cassette was recorded with full-range audio, while the video was recorded for "low-fi" VHS (the DVD didn't change that). The riffs are comprised of various tracks - some recognized, others, not. Here are several samples. My Generation MP3 Magic Bus MP3 Dancing Master MP3 You/Good Days Coming (unreleased song) MP3 Trick Of The Light MP3 Success Story MP3 Riff Sample 1 MP3 Riff Sample 2 MP3Love Doesn't Last (John Entwistle vocal version) - 1986 - This version was released as a bonus track on the 2005 (UK) and 2006 (USA) extended reissues of John's The Rock CD MP3 Compare to the Henry Small lead vocal version MP3
Standing In The Shadow Of Motown (book w/2 CDs) - 1989 - John's contribution to the book/CDs. John plays bass on segments of the following tracks: "Ain't Too Proud To Beg", "Going To A Go-Go" & "Contract On Love" MP3

When The Sun Comes Up (original vocal version) - 1998 - While waiting for the Van Pires album to be released, some of the songs were re-remixed with various changes. This version features the original lead vocals from Alan St. Jon. Unfortunately, he left the band and the vocals were overdubbed by Steve Luongo. The only released source is: The limited edition CD single of When The Sun Comes Up MP3 Compare to the Steve Luongo vocal version from Van Pires MP3
Rebel Without A Car (2nd vocal version) - 1998 - While waiting for the Van Pires album to be released, some of the songs were re-remixed with various changes. This song was originally recorded with John Entwistle on lead vocals, but at the time of its anticipated release (1998), the band was looking for guest singers on many of the tracks. This version was sung by Billy Squire. The original vocal version was ultimately used on the final version of the album, released in 2000. The only source for this version is: the Van Pires test pressing promotional only CD MP3 Compare to the John Entwistle (1st vocal version) from Van Pires MP3
Left For Dead (1st version) - 1998 - This version was considered too raunchy for the Van Pires "kids show" as John Entwistle sings about his wife poisoning him (followed by the "My Wife" instrumental part MP3 Compare to the 2nd version from Van Pires MP3 (Released in 2022 on Rarities Oxhumed Volume One)
