Format/Rating: CD - A

Year/Country/Label: 2015 - n/a - Decca

Alternative Queries

Pete Townshend - Alternative Queries - 2024 UK CD (Who Are You Demos)

Format/Rating: CD - A

Year/Country/Label: 2024 - UK - Sonic Boom

Aeolian Hall

The Who - Aeolian Hall - LP The Who - Aeolian Hall - LP (Back Cover) The Who - Aeolian Hall - LP (Label)

Format/Rating: LP - A- - BBC Studio Recordings / Music de Hall, Paris, France - March 31, 1966

Year/Country/Label: 2023 - EU - Expensive-Woodland-Recordings

Comments: A rehash of BBC recordings and live recordings from France TV. Artwork implies "Aeolian Hall" is some sort of live venue, but apparently it's where the BBC had their studio.

Track Listing

BBC: Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere, Just You And Me, Darling, Leaving Here, Good Lovin', My Generation, The Good's Gone, La La Lies, Substitute, Man With Money, Dancing In The Street, Disguises, I'm A Boy

Music De Hall: Substitute, Man With Money, Dancing In The Street, Barbara Ann, My Generation


Alternate Rarities

The Who - Alternate Rarities - CD

Format/Rating: CD - A-

Year/Country/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"...

Track Listing:

Studio Tracks: My Favorite Station, Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere (Alt. Vocal French "I Can't Explain" EP version), The Kids Are Alright (Demo), It's Not True (Demo), My Generation (Demo), Substitute (Alternate vocal version), Signal 30 (Unreleased Instrumental), Batman (Unreleased Instrumental), Don't Look Away (Demo), Run Run Run (Demo), Disguises (Demo), Jingle Bell (BBC), You Rang?

Alternate Tommy

The Who - Alternate Tommy - CD

Format/Rating: CD - A

Year/Country/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

The Who - Archives - LP The Who - Archives - LP (Back Cover)

Format/Rating: LP - A-

Year/Country/Label: 1979 - Australia - Kimber

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.

Demos: That Motherland Feeling/Rael, Do The Strip, Kill My Appetite, Disguises, Don't Look Away, I'm A Boy, Glow Girl, Glittering Girl

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.

Classified

Pete Townshend - Classified - LP

Format/Rating: LP - B+

Year/Country/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".

Format/Rating: CD - A

Year/Country/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

Format/Rating: CD - A

Year/Country/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

Dancing In The Street

Format/Rating: LP - B+

Year/Country/Label: 1983 - USA - Savage

Comments: A combination of Pete Townshend demos &  BBC tracks, all obsolete compared to some of the CD releases of the same material. The LP is about 3.5% too fast and (2) two of the songs listed as "demos" are not. "I Can't Reach You" is a mono Who version and "I Can See For Miles" is the BBC version (with the heavy bass overdub).

Exciting The Who

The Who - Exciting The Who - CD

Format/Rating: CD - B

Year/Country/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

Format/Rating: CD (Box Set) - A

Year/Country/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).
