More of The Who

This is a very nice looking original Track Black Label British Import LP. As anyone who knows the Who’s back catalog can attest, most of these songs were poorly recorded. Like all compilations, the sound here varies from track to track. Side two definitely has the better sound.

We guarantee that this pressing sounds better than the Classic reissue, which was so bad we never carried it.

AMG  Review

…One of the wildest and woolliest rides one can take through the who’s early history, which it manages to be while still not being complete in that context (the mod anthems “anyway, anyhow, anywhere,” and “my generation” are absent, as is their debut as the who, “I can’t explain”). But it was worth owning in november of 1968, because there was no place else to look for a who compilation (on either side of the atlantic) — what was here was unique, and it’s still worth hearing four decades later. For all of its strangeness (Especially on the original lp’s first side), direct hits does focus on the who as a killer singles band. Direct hits was and still is an appealing snapshot of the early who in all of their weird and offbeat glory.
