This album is an expanded version of the original "Odds and Sods" album, which compiled Who singles that had not been previously released or were only available sparingly. Several of these songs ("Pure and Easy," "Lay the Money Down," etc.) were intended for the "Lifehouse" project, from which the songs on "Who's Next" were culled. So, you get to hear what an expanded version of that album might have sounded like. The "new" songs on the re-mastered album are from the High Numbers/Who earlier days, and include studio versions of staple Who live tracks, like "Summertime Blues" and "Young Man Blues," both covers. The only truly weird (but certainly listenable) cover is that of the Rolling Stone's "Under My Thumb." Other than that, every track (arranged chronologically) gives the listener a snapshot of The Who from birth to middle age, which is a worthwhile trip for every Who fan.Read full review

Sound quality on this is excellent. The songs are in chronological order with the original release rearranged and shuffled accordingly into the playlist. Plus with Townsend's magazine interview, his comments on each of those originally released songs, it has a largish booklet as a bonus. All-in-all this CD is very helpful for compiling all of the Who's major studio work whether or not it was released, released on an album or just a single. There may still be some important missing material out there (such as Dog Part 2). As for this collection is concerned, the original release of Odds is made quite obsolete by this CD--I'm very pleased. The material on the new release is great to listen to and the new order gives each song more dignity (no longer so "odd" just side-lined).
