Project #5 - The Songs of The Who

tremors wrote:

We had some discussion about the 'squeeze box' collection, and I think we concluded that since quite a few people knew of it already, we would try and do something a bit different, and try and use some different versions too

and to add a little bit to what Tremors said, we also do not what to use tracks that have actual members of The Who in them. Most all of the current Who compilations have this and it is a way of just filling space (IMO). We want our compilation to be different from the others. Our compilation pays tribute to The Who, that's one reason we don't include songs that have members of The Who on them, and our compilation is short and sweet. When I say "short and sweet", I mean that it gets to the point, pays tribute, embodies the spirit of The Who, and clocks in (currently) under 50 minutes. I do believe that when everybody gets this compilation, they will be very pleased at the outcome.

Tremors, Myra, and I could have not done this again without the help of everybody on this thread who has lent their suggestions and support for this project. We have all created this project.

Version 2??
Is there a need?
Any lingering SQ issues that need to be fixed?
Anything else we can add?
Did Eddie cover any Who songs during his solo tours in '08 & '09?

If we answer 'no' to most or all of these questions, then is this project ready for release?

-> no
-> no
-> no
-> I have no clue ----> where are the boots' ??! :x :(

Add to this :
-> headphone test : checked
-> speakers test : checked
-> in-car test : checked
-> in-office test : checked ..... :?

I reckon it's ready for release, then

The check list is great.

Let's hold off a day in hopes of adding a killer version of "I'm One" by Ed. If we can find it, I will add it to the mix and send a version 2.

Yeah, that'd be great. And it would also adress the "it's a bit short" issue. Besides the '94 Carnegie Hall, I have no Ed solo show. And no idea where to find any. :(

The hunt for "I'm One" (Eddie Solo) is on :twisted:

how you can use any version but love reign o'er me from the who rock honors is beyond me

but

to each is their own


also i would put baba last but midset is what the who do sometimes at concerts, so that not to bad

other then those 2 things it's a good compilation

Yeah baba would be good last. The track sequence has come from the order in which the Who released the tracks, which makes some sense. Personally I wouldn't be averse to taking baba out of that sequence and adding it to the end to finish like a good ole PJ show!

Believe it or not, I am not a huge fan of the Rock Honors version of "love reign o'er me", sorry I know that a lot of people will disagree with me on that and that's cool. I also believe that the Rock Honors version would not fit well into our compilation because it is too polished.

Baba actually sounds real good midset. At first when we arranged the track listing, I didn't think that it was going to fly (As PJ fans we are all use to it at the end), but it sounds great in the middle and I think that a lot of people will appreciate it there.
