The Who Singles Discography - Part 15

All songs written by Pete Townshend unless otherwise noted.

The Kids Are Alright - USA -  June 15, 1979 New World Picture 198 45. Not issued in the UK. 1-sided promo with radio spots featuring Ringo Starr to promote The Kids Are Alright movie.

Long Live Rock / I'm The Face / My Wife - UK - April 12, 1979 Polydor Who 2 2121383 45 (EP). First pressings (and promo) came with a picture sleeve, red label with black solid core.

Long Live Rock / My Wife - USA - June 7, 1979 MCA 41053 45. Tan label and white label promo with different print styles. A promo only (double "a" side) picture disc was also released with (7) seven different "b" side artwork variations <see above>.

"Long Live Rock" was the single to support The Kids Are Alright movie and soundtrack album. The USA copy omits "I'm The Face" (which wasn't included in the movie or soundtrack).

Sound Samples (All Tracks In Stereo Except Where Noted)

Long Live Rock (Pete Townshend demo version - from the 1987 Another Scoop album)

"I'm The Face" is credited to Pete Meaden, but essentially all he did was change the lyrics to Slim Harpo's 1957 Got Love If You Want It.

I'm The Face ("b" side version)

Other sound samples of "I'm The Face" can be found here.

"My Wife" was written by John Entwistle. This version was recorded live at Kilburn, UK - December 15, 1977.

My Wife ("b" side version)

My Wife (Video version - From Live In Kilburn 1977)

5:15 / I'm One - UK - October 5, 1979 Polydor Who 3 2001916 45.

5:15 / I'm One - USA - October 5, 1979 Polydor PD 2022 45.

"5:15" is the single to support the Quadrophenia movie and soundtrack album. These tracks were remixed/changed from the originals by John Entwistle. MCA records (USA & Canada) was not keen on Polydor releasing another version of their "bread & butter" album. According to engineer Cy Langston (RIP), the entire "Quadrophenia" was remixed in the same fashion. However, in order to get approval from MCA, they had to "scrap" half of it, place the songs "out of order" and mix in other (non-Who) tracks to make it acceptable to MCA. Perhaps one day a "Directors Cut" of John Entwistle's "Quadrophenia" Soundtrack will be released.

Sound Samples (All Tracks In Stereo)
