My Steve Martin albums have been getting "multiple listens" since grade school,
Mark! I firmly reject your theory (but not you, as a person). And the Moon com-
edy bits on the box set are great. Sonia Nipples? Vince McRaincoat? :-) C'mon!
And if anyone else feels the same way I do about the Moon comedy bits, check
out the LIFE WITH THE MOONS CD boot for longer, unedited versions of
the box set tracks.
Incidentally, I thought the box set struck a nice balance between stuff that *had*
to be on there & rarer stuff which keeps the freakier fans satisfied. Of course
there are song which I could live without, but any kind of a reduction of THE WHO's
output would lead to that problem.
