THE WHO 
Album Title: Who's Next (Deluxe Edition)
Producer(s): REISSUE Jon Astley
Genre: ROCK
Source: Billboard Magazine
Originally Reviewed: April 12, 2003


It's rather ironic that one of rock's great albums
sprang from an aborted project; in this case, the
sprawling Pete Townshend magnum opus Lighthouse. This
remastered two-CD "deluxe edition" brings together the
original nine tracks from Who's Next with other cuts
from Lighthouse-era sessions and 15 songs from a 1971
South London concert. The extra studio tracks double
up on four songs that made it onto the original album
but also include a raunchy version of Marvin Gaye's
"Baby Don't Do It" and the jangly "Pure and Easy." The
live discwhich includes "My Generation" and five
songs from Who's Nextis no "tack on" and captures the
gutsiness of the Who at its peak. Revisit "Baba
O'Reilly," "Behind Blue Eyes," and "Won't Get Fooled
Again." Dig the ripping chords, bubbling bass runs,
and octopus drummingand again pay homage to the
mighty.AZ
