Odds And Sods Deluxe 2LP (Color)

One of the very first rarities collections, released to try and defeat the bootleggers, the original 11-track album was released in 1974. Compiled by bassist John Entwistle, the set features the single Long Live Rock, the unedited, unreleased version of The Seeker, the studio version of Young Man Blues, alternative versions of Dogs Part Two and Water, amongst many other gems. This reissue includes the original album on disc one and adds 14 bonus tracks B-sides, rarities & extras on disc two, Odds & Sods Too to create a definitive, 25-track double LP. Pressed on red (LP1) and yellow (LP2) vinyl. Includes Pete Townshends original track annotation. The stunning artwork and design restore the original die-cut front sleeve. Graham Hughes shot the cover for Odds and Sods Id stayed up the night before with Letterset, designing the letters on the American football helmets with each of the bands names printed on. When I finally managed to get them together in one place, which happened to be the bathroom, Pete and Rogers helmets didnt quite fit so thats why their wearing each others. That Quadrophenia tour wasnt very pleasant and the band were arguing a lot. When I showed Pete the blow-up of the cover, he didnt like it and told me so. I was so frustrated by this time, I started ripping it up . . . Thats when he decided he liked it! I stuck it back together with adhesive tape and Roger said, call it a bunch of odds and sods.
