Although it's not a bad album, it's certainly not worth buying just for
JT. You're better off buying Polydor's 2-Volume (but 1-disc) Rarities
release; it contains what I consider to be some of the Who's finest
music. But make sure you don't get ripped off--I've seen it for prices
ranging from $15 to $27. No sense to spend in the high range. Check out
a huge Tower Records, they should have it.

I think it was actually the fact that Who singles never fared very well
that made PT more and more cynical about singles. The lack of sales for
I Can See for Miles was especially discouraging for him, at least
according to CC.
