    5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD FOR COLLECTORS
    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2015
    i bought a copy of this box set when i was in japan 8 years ago so that means i have the japanese edition, the only thing different is with the japan copy you get a japanese sticker and a lyric sheet in both english and japanese, regardless for those who trashed this please keep in mind that this is not a singles collection or for any fan of the who that is new or just a casual fan, this is for a who die hard collector like myself, i also bought the vinyl edition of this 11 years ago when it came out wich is about the same as this cd singles one, this really is product for a collector!!!! i have been collecting who for over 35 years now so this suits my collection just fine, is it the best thing i own??? of coarse not but it was a rather well done box set over 10 years back, personally i like the vinyl version better but this will do as well, as for that comment about the stones singles box sets yes i will agree they came out a bit better BUT here we are in 2015 now and on vinyl THE WHO SINGLE BOX SETS are now coming out the right way in order, you will get replicas of all uk singles so keep your eye posted to amazon as the first set comes out TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!APRIL 7 2015..............................

    5.0 out of 5 stars One for the fans
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2004
    I bought this box set for $60 at Tower and I'm very happy with it. It's not meant to be a greatest hits package or to fill in any holes in your collection. All of the material here is available elsewhere. No, this box is strictly for collectors.
    Each disc comes in an exact, cd-sized replica sleeve of the original 45. And not just sleeves from UK and US. Pictures of Lily comes in the French sleeve, Happy Jack the Norwegian sleeve, I Can See For Miles - Japanese, etc. The Who did right by fans with this box set. It's a thing of beauty.
    As for the new songs, they're very good. It's great to hear Daltrey giving voice to Townshend's lyrics again. For the first time in decades their hearts are in it and it's palpable. If you're expecting Who's Next 2004 though you're in for a disappointment. These guys are 60. They've matured and so has their music. Old Red Wine and Real Good Looking Boy is where they are now. Dig it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Ick. Extortionist package misses all of the bases
    Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2004
    Someone, *please* answer this question: to whom is this set supposed to be attractive? Collectors have these songs. Neophytes can get them elsewhere. The Stones' singles box was at least somewhat moderately priced, and have a wealth of fetishistic packaging; this is hilariously expensive, and...and...
    Oh, I don't know.
    That the Who's reissue campaign started wonderfully and quickly descended into a misguided, poor-quality ego-fest (Live at Leeds Deluxe, anyone?) is almost canon by this point. This set shows that it's VERY possible to indeed sink farther into the hole. It's a singles collection, alright, of one of the principal 60s' singles bands, yet it manages to steadfastly *avoid* singles that include songs the reissue campaign missed (where's The Relay? When I Was a Boy? Here For More?). And rarities? Pah. We don't get any. *Everything* here, if I've got this right, has been released on CD previously; we don't even get the original single mixes of I Can See for Miles (stereo!) or Happy Jack (fake stereo!) tossed our way. The sound quality is generally fairly abysmal.
    Verdict? If done right, this set could've filled a niche. It doesn't. It sounds awful, contains nothing of even remote interest to collectors, and is just another entry in the Who's endless, misguided compilation-athon. Oh well. Avoid like the plague.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 見ているだけで楽しい
    Reviewed in Japan on November 22, 2004

    Whoのシングルはオリジナルがインナースリーブなしのものが多いので
    つまんないBOXになるかなと思ったが、さすがそうはさせない。
    各国盤のスリーブを持ってきて楽しめるようになっている。
    特に日本盤なんてこんなところで見るともう涙もの。
    Whoは音楽だけでも十分賞賛に値するが、それ以外でもいろいろ楽しませて
    くれるので本当にありがたい。（商売上手という話もある）
    新曲も十分名曲の予感だが、他の曲は言うまでも無い名曲ぞろい。
    でもWhoのファンはなにをさておいても購入するだろうが、一般の人は
    なかなか手が出にくい商品だよな。（もともとマニア向けだからどうでもいいのか？）

    I simply bought item, not to listen to the songs because I have plenty of compilation albums, but to have as a collectible. The covers of the cd covers are brilliant. Hence the fact its only two songs per disc but still a great buy for Who fans!
