This set showed us what great musicians guitarist Pete townshend, drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle were and how great vocalist Roger Daltrey got over the years. This was the first collection where they remastered the original mixes of The Who`s tracks for a compilation. The obvious classics are here like I Can`t Explain, My Generation, Substitute, Boris the Spider, Happy Jack, I Can See For Miles, Magic Bus, Pinball Wizard, Won`t Get Fooled Again, Who Are You and You Better You Bet among others. The 1996 My Generation Best Of were remixes and left some important tracks off like I`m Free, Summertime Blues, Behind Blue Eyes, My Wife, Love Reign O`er Me, Sister Disco and Eminence Front. I first had the US edition then sold it once I picked up the Britiish edition which had a different cover and five bonus tracks of Had Enough, Don`t Let Go the Coat, The Quiet One(one of the late John Entwistle`s post-My Wife tracks) and the rock radio staples Another Tricky Day and Athena(a hit for The Who in 1982). This disc went Gold upon release in June of 2002 and went Top 40 and is the best start point to get into The Who. | | | | Top Ten Reasons To Buy "The Who: The Ultimate Collection" | 10. It`s more concise than the 4-CD boxed set.
9. The inferior 2-CD "Hooligans" compilation is out of print.
8. It has informative liner notes, listing the date each song was recorded.
7. The booklet includes pictures of all the Who album covers, and has some great photos of the band in action.
6. The remastered songs sound great, even on a moderately priced stereo system.
5. The song selection is superb, without a single weak track.
4. The recently deceased John Entwistle plays the greatest bass guitar licks of all time on "My Generation." This has never sounded clearer than the version on this compilation.
3. Roger Daltrey`s vocals and Pete Townshend`s songwriting are perfectly showcased on this great collection.
2. The first CD clocks in around 67 minutes. The second CD clocks in at nearly 69 minutes. Add in the bonus disc, and you have nearly two and a half hours of great Who music!
1. The bonus disc of 4 songs feature noticeably different versions of well known Who songs. Particularly outstanding is the acoustic version of "Happy Jack." Because it`s a limited edition, you shouldn`t wait too long to buy the aptly named Ultimate Collection. | | |
