About this album

Best Of The Who distils The Who’s explosive early run into a concise portrait of their mod-era power. Issued in 1968, it gathers key singles and staples such as “Substitute”, “Pictures of Lily”, “Happy Jack” and “I’m a Boy”, showing how the group fused pop immediacy with sharp guitars, group harmonies and Pete Townshend’s increasingly ambitious songwriting. Arriving while their reputation was still being forged on stage and on record, the compilation helped fix the band’s public image as one of Britain’s most original young rock acts. For listeners tracing The Who’s rise before Tommy, it remains a useful snapshot of their first great burst of momentum.
