I own this twofer and it is easily the worst sounding official release in my record collection. I'm not sure if all pressings of it were that bad, but it's really murky and not fun at all on mine. I've run into others who had the same experience, but again I'm not sure if it applies to all pressings.

I've never understood all the hype around the Who. Live at Leeds is a classic showcase of live rock, and Tommy is a nice album and impressive for its ambition, but beyond that they never reached me much. A good band, but one of the best? Somebody explain it to me! Maybe I'll listen through all the albums I have again. It has been a while, maybe I'll like them more now.
