Well the boys over at Floppy Boot Stomp and Voodoo Wagon (well let's be fair it's Jobe!) are on fire and posted this yesterday . . . . . . .. if you download one thing today make it this! 
Four (count 'em!) FOUR albums worth of alternate takes from the most classic Who albums ever, heck the most classic ROCK ALBUM EVER! If you don't have this in your Top Ten Albums of all time, see a doctor and ask him to check your pulse and book a brain scan! Oh and TURN IT UP!
It's window rattling time . . . . . . . . . !!

    Absolutely agree Andy, has to be the greatest ROCK album ever. Every song is a killer. As for Won't get fooled & Baba - frightening stuff. I think I still play this just about monthly - you must've even heard me in Kidlington on the WGFA scream!!
    Keep safe mate.

    Thanks Jobe as ever! and Thanks Diamond Dave my 'neighbour'! So glad you dropped by. This four album set is on the player as we speak and frankly it is just awe inspiring. The demos alone as I keep saying ad nauseam are staggering, Townshend at his creative genius best. Some moments in music history are worth noting and documenting for flashes of inspiration. This is one of them.
