?'s on Disc 2/30 YEARS MAX R&B



Continuing with my relistening of 30 YEARS MAXIMUM R&B, and still more
questions:

1.  This is actually a comment.  I don't like some of the remixing of
the Who's material ("Music Must Change" with a new guitar solo?!), but I
gotta say that "Armenia City In The Sky" was a HUGE improvement, IMHO.
The original mix dragged, but the remix is a lot tighter and just seems
to rock more.  I don't know why; I don't think they sped it up any.
Whatever they did, I'm glad, because I never liked the song before I
heard it on this compilation.

2.  Lyric Questions:  "Call Me Lightning" (actually from Disc 1)--Is it
"Dum dum dum doo-ray" or "Don't, don't, don't do it" or something else?
Sounds more like the former.
     "Magic Bus"--"Tuppence and sixpence each day/Just to drive to my
bay-bay"?  That's the closest I can get to what Rog is singing in that
line.  It's the only thing I can think of that makes any sense. <g>

3.  Apropos of nothing...Why did the Who leave out the final verse of
"Fortune Teller"?  I always liked it.  Like the Stones' version, too,
BTW, but the Who's rocks harder.

Thanks for listening!
