The Who Singles Discography - Part 4 *
 
* Note: Part 3 & Part 4 are slightly out of date order due to the grouping of the singles above

All songs written by Pete Townshend unless otherwise noted.

Substitute / Instant Party - UK - March 11, 1966 - Reaction 591001 45. Issued with 3-prong and solid core versions <see above>.

Substitute / Waltz For A Pig - UK - March 15, 1966 - Reaction 591001 45. Issued with 3 & 4-prong versions <see above>.

Substitute / Waltz For A Pig - USA - April 2, 1966 - Atco 45-6409 45 (reissued in 1967 as 45-6509). Issued with various print styles and pink label promo <see above>. This version runs ~2:59.

The Who parted ways with producer, Shel Talmy, and began to produce their own songs. However, due to the lawsuit between the parties, things weren't as simple for the band as they had hoped. Their new single, "Substitute", was issued (3) three times in the period of less than (2) two weeks due to potential infringement issues. "B" side(s) "Circles" and "Instant Party" are the same 1966 Who produced version. Due to legal issues, the band ended up issuing "Waltz For A Pig" (recorded by the Graham Bond Organization) as their "b" side. (Sound samples for the various versions of "Circles" (aka "Instant Party") are on the previous page.)

Adding some further controversy, there were (2) two released versions of "Substitute" in 1966. The common version, featuring the lyrics, "I look all white but my dad was black..." and what's referred to as the "USA version", changing the common lyrics to, "I try walking forward but my feet walk back". This version was released as to not "offend" racist America (at that time). Even though referred to as the "USA version", this version was also released in Canada, South Africa and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).
