Editorial Reviews

This classic LP was not mono cut on a stereo head with the resulting crosstalk - it is the real deal just like it was cut in 1965 from producer Shel Talmy original mono master tapes. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, but be warned...!, May 24, 2004

This remastered album is the same as the dlx version except all tracks are on 1 disc, which is handy. However, the disc has only 1 layer and it's sacd. So you can't play it in non-sacd players (car stereo, discman, etc.) Remastering job is great though. Deep, rich sound!

If you like the Who and have a CD player capable of playing NON-HYBRID SACDs, then this one is a no-brainer. You get ALL of the material from the 2 CD special edition release, but it is in the higher fidelity of SACD and is all on one disc. I have not compared the standard Red Book release to this one. What I can tell you is that this release beats the pants off of any incarnation of this recording from the past. Hearing these tunes in REAL STEREO for the first time is a true revelation. No longer does the music feel constrained by the mono recording. It is more like the players are performing on a stage in front of you as opposed to mono's non-dimensionality. The recording is wonderfully clean and complete with crystal clear feedback. Moon's cymbals are transparent...his drumwork really stands out on this release. In fact, all the instruments are much better defined. Shel Talmy did a superb remastering job...he really cares about these recordings regardless of his professional problems with the Who. YOU HAVE TO PICK UP THIS ONE!!

Why should Amazon include 118 rewiews about the CD version on the Classic Records Vinyl edition page?
As a vinyl enthusiast I always get bored when I try to look for rewiews about some specific VINYL reissue, and find thousands of rewiews related to other formats (5.1 remixes, SACD, mono or stereo CDs...) all mixed together.
Is there any reason for this?
By the way, ALL Who Classic Records reissues on vinyl are splendid, impecable original mixes, sometimes very different from the remixes done in mid 90's and currently found on CDs.
Highly recommended.
