UNDER A RAGING MOON

Album: Under A Raging Moon

LPs (vinyl) Sampled: 10 Records (UK), Atlantic (USA), 10 Records (Japan)

CDs Sampled: 10 Records (UK), Atlantic (USA)

Non-album Tracks: "It Don't Satisfy Me" (extended version on 12" EP versions of "After The Fire"), "Love Me Like You Do" (on 12" EP versions of "After The Fire" and CD version of album), "Behind Blue Eyes/5:15" (live medley version on 12" 10 Records (UK) "Under A Raging Moon" EP and double 7" version of the same), "Won't Get Fooled Again" (live version on double 7" of 10 Records (UK) "Under A Raging Moon"), "Breakout" (on double 7" of 10 Records (UK) "The Pride You Hide"), "Don't Talk To Strangers", "Pictures Of Lily" (both are live versions included on double 7" of 10 Records (UK) "The Pride You Hide")

LP Comments: This album was recorded at the beginning of the "digital age". The Atlantic (USA) is too bright and harsh sounding. However, the 10 Records (UK) is a little smoother around the edges, making listening tolerable, but not ideal. Lastly, the 10 Records (Japan) is a little warmer than the (UK) version, making this version the LP of choice.

CD Comments: Both CD versions are too bright and harsh, but the 10 Records (UK) is a tad smoother.

Summary: The 10 Records (Japan) LP is the overall best pressing.

Other Comments: Look for the 10 Records (Japan) LP and transfer it to CD. This is a pretty decent album, which could really be significantly improved by remixing and remastering.

Track Listing:

LP: After The Fire, Don't Talk To Strangers, Breaking Down Paradise, The Pride You Hide, Move Better In The Night, Let Me Down Easy, Fallen Angel, It Don't Satisfy Me, Rebel, Under A Raging Moon

CD: After The Fire, Don't Talk To Strangers, Breaking Down Paradise, The Pride You Hide, Move Better In The Night, Love Me Like You Do, Let Me Down Easy, Fallen Angel, It Don't Satisfy Me, Rebel, Under A Raging Moon

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE

Album: Can't Wait To See The Movie

LPs (vinyl) Sampled: 10 Records (UK), Specialty (USA-test pressing), Atlantic (USA), Virgin (Argentina)

CDs Sampled: 10 Records (UK), Atlantic (USA), EMI (NL)

Non-album Tracks: "Hearts Of Fire" (extended version on 10 Records (UK) 12"), "Quicksilver Lightning" (b side of 10 Records (UK) "Hearts Of Fire", "Quick Silver" sound track album Atlantic (USA) CD & LP and Atlantic (USA) "Quick Silver Lightning 7"), "Take Me Home" (extended dance mix version & instrumental version available on same titled Atlantic (USA) 12")

An "honorable mention" belongs to "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" (a cover of the Elton John song) because the "b" side(s) to the single versions of the song were taken from the <above> album. This song can be found on the "Lost Boys" soundtrack, Atlantic (USA) CD and LP, 10 Records (UK) single, 12" & 7".

LP Comments: Both Atlantic (USA) and 10 Records (UK) sound fairly close, with a slight edge going to the Atlantic (USA).

CD Comments: All of the CD versions sound identical.

Summary: In terms of sound quality, all of the versions I've listened to sound good and pretty much about the same. Take your pick ...

Other Comments: This album doesn't seem to have a big following among Who fans, but I've always liked it. Songs like "Hearts Of Fire" (a reworked Russ Ballard solo song) and "Balance On Wires" are my favorites. The album version of "Take Me Home" doesn't do the song justice compared to the extended dance mix version (this version throws just about everything at you, except for the kitchen sink).

LP versions have a different mix of "When The Thunder Comes" than the CD versions.

Track Listing: Hearts Of Fire, When The Thunder Comes, Ready For Love, Balance On Wires, Miracle Of Love, Price Of Love, Heart Has Its Reasons, Alone In The Night, Lover's Storm, Take Me Home

ROCKS IN THE HEAD

Album: Rocks In The Head

CDs Sampled: Atlantic (USA), Castle Music (UK)

CD Comments: This is a well-recorded album and the CDs sounds good. A slight edge in sound quality to the Atlantic (USA) version.

Other Comments: None.

Track Listing: Who's Gonna Walk on Water, Before My Time Is Up, Times Changed, You Can't Call It Love, Mirror Mirror, Perfect World, Love Is, Blues Man's Road, Everything a Heart Could Ever Want, Days of Light, Unforgettable Opera

A CELEBRATION: THE MUSIC OF PETE TOWNSHEND AND THE WHO

Album: A Celebration: The Music Of Pete Townshend And The Who

CDs Sampled: Continuum (USA), House Of Blues (USA) (Only known releases)

CD Comments: Both CD versions sound great.

Other Comments: This CD features also features guest performances by Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. The video version (see VIDEO section) contains additional songs not released on the CD.

Track Listing: Overture, Pinball Wizard, Imagine a Man, Doctor Jimmy, The Song Is Over, The Real Me, Baba O'Riley, After the Fire, 5.15, Sea Refuses No River, Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again

MOONLIGHTING

Album: Moonlighting

CDs Sampled: Sanctuary (UK) Promo

CD Comments: Great sounding CD set. It appears that the mastering is "fresh" and not from any previously released source.

Other Comments: This CD contains a previously unreleased studio song called, "A Second Out". Also previously unreleased is a live version of "Born To Run"... Musically, it's performed very close to Bruce Springsteen's version. However, Roger seems a little uncomfortable with the lyrics as if he needed to rehearse them a few more times (i.e. there's a false start in the beginning because Roger didn't know the first lines of the song, and needed someone to give them to him). However, even with some of the songs issues, it's still a welcome (and cool) addition to the Who catalog.

Another interesting note about this track listing, is that some actual thought went into it. Unlike previous "best of" releases, this one includes some obscure rarities (studio and live) that normally get overlooked.

Track Listing: One Man Band, The Way Of The World, Thinking, There Is Love, Giving It All Away, Get Your Love, World Over, Proud, Dear John, Avenging Annie, One Of The Boys, Martyrs And Madmen, Say It Ain't So, Joe, Bitter And Twisted, Free Me, Without Your Love, Waiting For A Friend, Parting Would Be Painless, After The Fire, Under A Raging Moon (edit version), Behind Blue Eyes (live), Won't Get Fooled Again (live), Quicksilver Lightning, Lover's Storm, Mack The Knife, The Pig Must Die, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Rock And Roll, Who's Gonna Walk On Water?, Love Is, Blues Man Road, Baba O'Riley (live), Pinball Wizard (live), The Real Me (live), Child O Mine, Born To Run (live), A Second Out

Note: The promo CDs include "Stuck In The Middle" (between "The Real Me" and "Child O Mine") and do not include "A Second Out".
