In the case of The Who's BBC SESSIONS, I definitely think the O&S crowd 
(meaning Luke and Fang) are right about the sound on this cd.  It was very 
punkish material to start with--lots of tinny banging and ear-splitting 
feedback--and it was made up with a bright, sharp edge to it that makes it 
painful to listen to.  It's not something that average nostaligic Boomers 
are going to buy, and it didn't attract the kids.  Therefore, it didn't sell 
well.

Seems like the better strategy would have been to take some of the edge off 
the material so it would have a broader appeal.
