Non-album singles finally released on an album together with the best of the first three Who albums! I am sorry Who fans, the first three Who albums are only of interest to the die hard followers. They show a struggling and emerging british invasion band moving closer to the ultimate direction shown by the 1969 album "Tommy". In today's harshier reality, they do not stand up to the artist value shown by the Who's efforts from "Tommy" onward - with the exception of these singles and those limited songs from the early albums. So don't bother with "My Generation," "A Quick One," and "The Who Sell Out". Get this 1971 compilation instead. Don't want to take my word for it? Then listen to these early albums first on Rhapsody or something. Doubt you'll disagree afterwards. Please don't get me wrong, I do love The Who and I do own those early albums. Guess you should count me amoung the die hard followers.Read full review
The only complaint I have about this CD is the misprint of the time length of the song "Magic Bus" according to the CD itself & the back cover it puts the song at 4:28, but in reality it's only 3:17, the reason I bought it was because I been trying to find the long version of "Magic Bus" for awhile, and I thought this was it, but it's mislabeled, I'm very disappointed. Other than that this is a great compilation

This is a fantastic overview of one of the greatest musical forces of the 60's. All of the early songs are included and they sound great. I of course had the LP back in the day but the CD is expanded with some additional trax.
