As long as Simon Townshend can remember the chords ! Apart from 'the 
band' playing it at the Who Convention, did they ever used to play it 
live ?

As for songs that should have been singles, how about 'Dance It Away' 
(B-side of 'Uniforms'), preferably being done by The Who. The vocals 
would have suited Roger's voice, and the bassline is quite Entwistle-like 
as it is.

Meloncholia also springs to mind. It would have made a great single.

It's a real shame that Townshend never got round to doing the 
orchestrated album he mentions in the Scoop liner notes. There's some 
great tracks that have surfaced, like Brooklyn Kids, Praying the Game and 
Street in the City. I wonder how close this album came to being put out ?

Cheers,

Dave
