Let's See People

Format/Rating: CD - A-

Year/Country/Label: 1995 - Italy - Oil Well

Comments: A dub off of From Lifehouse To Leeds. This version sounds slightly thinner in sound quality.

Track Listing: Pure And Easy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Ain't For Keeping, Behind Blue Eyes, Baby Don't Do It, Getting In Tune, Young Man Blues, Happy Jack, I'm A Boy, Shakin' All Over With Spoonful

Lifehouse & Quadrophenia Demos

Format/Rating: CD - A-

Year/Country/Label: 1995 - Italy - Primadonna

Comments: Probably the best of the sources for the "Quadrophenia" demos. As noted in other sections, the "Lifehouse" demos were available officially from: www.eelpie.com (now defunct).

Track Listing: Baba O'Riley, Bargain, Love Ain't For Keeping, The Song Is Over, Getting In Tune, Going Mobile, Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled Again, Pure & Easy, Mary, Too Much Of Anything, Join Together, The Relay, Put The Money Down, I Don't Even Know Myself, Unused Piano, Love Reign O'er Me, The Real Me, The Dirty Jobs, The Punk And The Godfather, I'm One, I've Had Enough, Bell Boy, Cut My Hair, Brrr

Lifehouse At Leeds

Format/Rating: CD - A

Year/Country/Label: 1992 - Australia - Kangaroo

Comments: Mostly a good dub off of "From Lifehouse To Leeds" (see additional comments under that release) with a very good vinyl to CD dub of the studio, "Young Man Blues" from "The House That Track Built". Also has the true stereo "A Quick One While He's Away" from that same rare LP, but the vinyl seems to "crack" in certain spots.

Track Listing: Pure And Easy, Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Ain't For Keeping, Behind Blue Eyes, Baby Don't You Do It, Getting In Tune, Young Man Blues, Happy Jack, I'm A Boy, Shakin' All Over, Young Man Blues, A Quick One While He’s Away

Track Listing: Pure And Easy, Behind Blind Eyes, Love Ain't For Keeping, Mary, Getting In Tune, Goin' Mobile, Too Much Of Anything, Time Is Passing, Won't Get Fooled Again, Song Is Over, Baba O'Riley

Lifehouse Demos

Format/Rating: CD - A-

Year/Country/Label: 1995 - Italy Yellow - Dog

Comments: What makes this CD special is the demo called, "Party & Lies", which is actually the demo for "La La La Lies" and the real "Instant Party" (the Who song, "Circles" took that song's name, but they are completely different songs with nothing in common but the year they were written). Worth having if only for this great demo.

Track Listing: Pure And Easy, Behind Blue Eyes, Love Ain't For Keeping, Mary, Getting In Tune, Going Mobile, Too Much Of Anything, Magic Bus, Party & Lies, Motherland Feeling/Rael

Life With The Moons

Format/Rating: CD - A-

Year/Country/Label: 1994 - Hungary - Yellow Dog

Comments: An interesting compilation of tracks from the aborted, 1988 Box Set (This is the best sound quality of that material released to-date) and/or outtakes from the 30 Years Of Maximum R&B Box mixed in with additional Keith Moon "humor" tracks not used (or edited) on the "30 Years" box set. The last track ("One Life's Enough") says, "alternate version", but it sounds the same to me.

Track Listing: Life With The Moons # 1, My Generation/(Land Of Hope And Glory), Happy Jack (Take 1 with studio chatter), Coca-Cola Commercial, John Mason Motors Jingle, Jaguar, Life With The Moons # 2, Melancholia, Track Records Run-Off Groove, Life With The Moons # 3, Fortune Teller, Cousin Kevin Model Child, Life With The Moons # 4, Baby Don't Ya Do It, Behind Blue Eyes (alternate with false start), Life With The Moons # 5, Tommy's Holiday Camp, I Am The Sea/The Real Me, The Name Game, Virginia, One Life's Enough (alternate version).

Live At LA Forum

Format/Rating: LP - A-

Year/Country/Label: 1974 - USA - Unknown

Comments: 2 LPs, Live and studio recordings. Poor audience recording. The "Classified" demo is the rarer, "Glastonbury Fayre" mix. The BBC material is very off-speed, close to 45RPM. However, it sounds good when the speed is corrected.

Track Listing:

Studio Track: Mary Ann With The Shaky Hand ("b" side of "I Can See For Miles" version)

LA '73: The Real Me, Punk Meets The Godfather, I Am One, Helpless Dancer

Studio Track: Classified (Pete Townshend demo)

LA '73: Sea & Sand, Drowned, I Can't Explain, Summertime Blues, My Generation

Studio Tracks: My Generation (BBC), The Kids Are Alright (Pete Townshend demo), Good Lovin' (BBC), Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere (BBC), The Good's Gone (BBC)

Live At Leeds Rejects

Format/Rating: CD - A-

Year/Country/Label: 2003 - Unknown - Jack Of Hearts

Comments: The "Won't Get Fooled Again" and the two "false starts" that precede it don't seem to be anything different from the original mix of the studio version. The back cover of the CD says, "Tracks 1-12: Live recordings from the same tour as "Live At Leeds". Venues unknown. I would agree with that, except that "Substitute", "Happy Jack", "I'm A Boy" are actually poor sounding "Leeds" tracks and the track that's listed as "See Me, Feel Me/Overture" is actually part of the "Sparks" jam from the extended "My Generation" on "Leeds". The "unknown" (for the moment) tracks actually sound quite good, although as typical with many bootlegs, the left and right channels are reversed.

Track Listing:

Studio Tracks: Won't Get Fooled Again (false start), Won't Get Fooled Again (false start), Won't Get Fooled Again

Unknown: Young Man Blues, Summertime Blues, Shakin' All Over, Heaven And Hell, I Can't Explain, Fortune Teller, Tattoo, Young Man Blues

Leeds: Substitute, Happy Jack, I'm A Boy, See Me, Feel Me/Overture

Magic Bus

Format/Rating: CD - A

Year/Country/Label: 2020 - France - Decca

Comments: The front cover is a pirate version of the 1968 USA Magic Bus LP. The back cover is also a pirate, but swaps the track names of this CD. The sound quality is very good and from common sources. The title track and "Pictures Of Lily" seems to be from vinyl sources whereas the title track sound excellent, but the latter isn't the best sounding version. "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde" is the common version and "Young Man Blues" is the slow version from the 1998 remix of "Odds & Sods".

Track Listing: Melancholia, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Glow Girl, Faith In Something Bigger, Call Me Lightning, Magic Bus, Someone's Coming, Little Billy, Doctor, Doctor, Young Man Blues, Pictures Of Lily

Maximum BBC

Format/Rating: CD -  A-

Year/Country/Label: 1995 - Unknown - Hiwatt

Comments: This is THE BBC CD. Supposedly dubbed off of radio station promo CDs, this CD has the best sound quality of any of the BBC discs, including the official release, which unfortunately, was mastered poorly. The Red Robin label release is almost identical, but it omits, "Heaven & Hell".
