With seriously good Double Plus (A++) grades or close to them on both sides, you’ll have a hard time finding a copy that sounds remotely as good as this vintage UK import
Features material not available on any of the band’s other albums, making it an absolute Must Own
The sound quality of the tracks varies quite a bit but that’s the nature of beast when it comes to these compilation LPs

“I Can’t Explain” on side one is pretty much right on the money – rich and clear, with good top end extension, there aren’t many sides out there that get as much right as this one does
5 stars: “Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy has the distinction of being the first in a long line of Who compilations. It also has the distinction of being the best. The Who recorded their share of great albums during the 60s, but condensing their highlights to just the singles is an electrifying experience.”
