John:

Actually, I was trying to focus on two things with my choices:
1) versions of songs we don't have...like My Generation live in `65, as
opposed to the one on LEEDS or after.
2) unreleased songs.

I would rather have a different version of a song like YMB, which was
released on LEEDS. Do we need another `69-`70 version? We shouldn't waste
this chance...which is already shrinking before our eyes...with another
version of something that is already out there. Right? I get the distinct
feeling that this will be it. The present enthusiasm for The Who on the
corporate level may not (probably won't, if history has taught us anything)
last. Unfortunately.
