Title: The Definitive Version?
Review: The limited edition import is part of a 12 CD Who series issued by Polydor in Japan (POCP-9208). As with the rest of the series, this release reproduces the orignal LP artwork in a miniture cardboard cover/inner sleeve. It also includes a lyric booklet and a section from a Who discography. The CD itself is the Polydor/MCA re-master, with extra tracks, originally released in Jun 97.Despite the loss of Keith Moon, and the developing rift among the remaining band members, It's Hard has some excellent songs in Eminence Front, I've Know No War, and Cry If You Want. Critically, it will never get support from old time Who fans, but it deserves a fresh listen now and then.The domestic 97 re-master is fine for casual fans; the limited edition import is a must for those who want the complete set of the Japenese series.
