Hmmm, I'll bet this becomes a joint MCA/Polydor/Eel
Pie boxed set project around the year 2005 (30th
anniverary of By Numbers, 25th of Empty Glass)!

In the meantime, anyone want to work with me on my
grandiose reworking of Tommy AND Lifehouse AND Quads
(the "I'm A Boy" project, not to be confused with
Quadrophenia), called "Tommy 2020"?

Given that It's Hard came out closer to the previous
Who album than any of their studio LPs dating back to
Tommy, does anyone know roughly how much time they
spent in the studio compared to WBN, WAY, and FD?  In
other words, did The Who typically record more takes
per song for those other albums?
