K first the booklet is wrong, remember this is MCA we're talking 
about.  There is no way this version of YMB is from 1968.  The Who live 
in 1968 and The Who live in 1970 are sonically different.  We had this 
same discussion early this year about the source of Happy Jack from 
TKAA.  Compare the Fillmore East '68 bootleg to Live at Leeds (any 
version).  This I believe is due to the fact that by 1970 the band 
could afford top of the line equipment, in '68 they had to beg, borrow, 
and steal to get enough equipment to do the shows.  Second, like WFang 
said you have a boot of a boot.  The original boot From Lifehouse TO 
Leeds does not have the studio version of YMB, but has four songs from 
Leeds 2/14/70 including YMB (I assume both versions have the Leeds 
tracks?).  From Lifehouse TO Leeds is on the Scorpio label and has the 
band sitting in front of Tara House on the cover.
