Buck:

I might just take you up on that in a week or so. Depends on if the
burner & software I'm looking at will do what I want it to do.
I have these too, but the sound quality is hardly worth "immortalizing."
Hopefully, yours sound better. And in any case, I'll be making myself a
disc of still unreleased Who tracks, no matter the sound quality.

Sure, but it was too late for that by the time it was written. I suppose
we should keep in mind that a lot of T tracks were written independently
and adapted for the opera (I'm A Sensation originally recorded as She's
A Sensation, for instance).

Why not? The band isn't doing much at the moment...

To me it sounds like "Jones-doing-Keith" as on the post-`78 live
material. It sounds just a bit slower than it "should," as can be
noticed on Jones' work with the earlier material. Please note the drum
bit just before Rog sings the first verse.

ASK! ASK! What the Hell. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.
