The Who: "A Quick Live One" and "Odds and Sods 2LP" for Record Store Day

Posted on the 10 March 2020 by Hctf @hctf

Two releases by The Who for Record Store Day (April 18). The first one, A Quick Live One, features their complete set @ Monterey Pop Festival on June 18, 1967. They barreled through six songs within half an hour:

1. A Quick One While He's Away / 2. Substitute / 3. Happy Jack / 4.Summertime Blues / 5. My Generation / 6. Pictures Of Lily

This running order as listed on the Record Store Day site is way off. If the front cover is an indication the folks of The Monterey International Pop Festival Foundation did not fuck it up on the album itself. Actual setlist:

1 Substitute / 2. Summertime Blues / 3. Pictures of Lily / 4. A Quick One (While He's Away) / 5. Happy Jack / 6. My Generation

Red/white/blue striped vinyl. 6500 copies.

Odds and Sods, a rarities compilation, was first released in 1974. Bass player John Entwistle had selected enough songs for a double album, but it became just the one back then with 11 tracks. A 1998 CD reissue came with a wealth of extra tracks. The Record Store Day reissue as a 2LP is yet another journey through the archives, with previously tidbits and single mixes on the second album:
