Once again, a Vulcan mind meld on this one!   Also as was mentioned in Forbes,
their original lps (on CD) continue to be among the briskest selling
"calatlog" albums out there....

Of course I'm glad the Who are doing what they're doing along these lines,
and both the remasters/remixes and the plentiful odds and ends make the 'oo
dear to my heart.  Also, in both the Beatles and Who cases, my fuzzy, muddy
bootleg collection is rapidly becoming obselete....
