Title: A Fine Example of How All Re-issues Should be Done!
Review: I was delighted (nay, ecstatic) to find this gem among the train wreck of the Who's early re-issue catalog. Let me say right off that the sound quality of this UK import is consistantly top-notch all the way through. And, as advertised, it IS almost entirely in true, authentic stereo (I suppose we can forgive the three minor songs that aren't). I purchased the 1995 US version of this CD a few years ago and was outraged to find that even though the disc said STEREO right on it, it was mostly in mono. And the sound quality, like much of the other re-issued material, was shrill and distortion-ridden in places. But this UK release does not suffer from those problems. This much-overlooked album disserves to be heard like this. "Boris the Spider", "Heat Wave", and "So Sad About Us" in particular have a fresh, clean sound in wonderful, wonderful stereo! Happy listening!
