the second disc is mostly different takes of the first disc

still think you're better off with the single Expanded Edition disc

the deluxe edition only has about 4 songs not on the Expanded Edition

Thanks man, I'll pick up the normal edition. If I end up really loving the album, I can always buy the expanded edition right?

i mean get the single Expanded Edition version, with all the songs Pete intended

don't get the "Deluxe" Edition, the link to the one you showed me

the single disc with the extra tracks should be the 1995 edition, if I'm not mistaken

i just don't think it's worth it to get both the stereo AND the mono mix

if you do want to splurge on a Deluxe Edition, get "Who's Next" 2-disc - the second disc is a brill live performance, and the outtakes are all essentials

Yeah, I know what you meant.

Funny you should say that, becuase I found an INCREDIBLE deal on Amazon about a week ago for Whos Next deluxe edition in very good condition for about 6 bucks with shipping. Still waiting for it to arrive, but what a deal eh?

So do you think 6 bucks is a good deal on the expanded edition of Who Sell Out? Also, one more question, I've already bought Whos Next and LaL, which Who album do you think I should buy next? (mostly between Who Sell Out, Tommy and Quadrophenia)

6 bucks sound fine for Sell Out - I got mine for around 12 bucks

most people seem to think Tommy's too theatrical and overrated, but it sounds fine to me (it could do without "Underture", though)

Quadrophenia is great - though some people think it's pompous

others you should check out - Who Are You and Face Dances (this is again a very divisive album, but I think it's their last great album)

i didn't like By Numbers much

and I'm in the minority about It's Hard (most people hate it) but it sounds fine to me

avoid "Endless Wire" at all costs, Roger sounds as if he's about to choke on his own vomit and all the songs are "recycled" (they sound like the Who's best songs redone)

and if you want a good solo project - check out Pete Townshend's Empty Glass (arguably the most Who-sounding of his efforts) - avoid all of Daltrey's solo stuff, though, they're beyond sucky

Thank you Il, you've been a great help. So, I guess I plan on getting Quadrophenia, Who Sell Out, and Tommy (all 95 remasters) and then if I like what I hear, I'll move on to the other stuff you like by them, albeit, I won't buy it all at once. I just got that Deluxe Edition of Who's Next, and I'm liking it alot so far. But I still can't believe I got it for 6 bucks. You must be jealous, eh? I'll let this album sink in, then I'll have LaL in about a week and then I can let that sink in and move on to more Who if I'm hungry for more.

Pretty good game plan, right?

I almost think the guy made a pricing error or something, becuase I think it was just too good of a deal. Did you get your copy brand new? Did you buy deluxes of any of the other albums?

So did you spend 20 bucks on that too? (Do you regret getting the deluxe edition?)

Do you buy used at all Il?
