There are many Who compilations out there, far more than I care to 
list!  I can, however, point you in the direction of some of the best 
ones.  "Who's Missing" and "Two's Missing", the albums whose track 
listings have been posted these past couple of days, both contain Who 
singles that are difficult to find elsewhere.  The same goes for 
"Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy", which is my personal favorite Who 
compilation album.  "Odds and Sods" is not a singles collection, but 
does have plenty of previously unreleased Who songs.  It should also 
be easy to find, since it was recently re-released.  (No, this is not 
an opening for more argument about the new "Odds and Sods"!)  "Who's 
Missing" and "Meaty, Beaty..." are a bit more difficult to track down,
 and you may need to check your local secondhand music shops.  "Two's 
Missing" is the most elusive of all - I still don't have my own copy, 
and I've been trying to get one for years!

Gloria,

"Dig" is a song off Pete's 1989 solo album, "Iron Man".  It was one 
of the two songs on that album performed by the Who (the other being 
a cover of "Fire").  "Dig" was performed several times during the '89 
tour, which is one reason why some people have accused Pete of 
agreeing to that tour only to help his own album sales.
