Lucas,
That was me!  The Anthology is a real disapointment.  You will very little
interesting bass on this - which is supposed to be a collection of his
best.  My conclusion is that his best was and is with The Who - brilliant
as he is with them he is quite the ooposite solo.  I was unbelievably
disappointed with this and it has put me off looking at any of his other
work.  I think the songs, arrangements and performances are all far below
par.  Sad to find your heroes have feet of clay.
