This is the first I'm hearing about a so-called "alternate" version of this song...

i really don't think it is an "alternate version" of the song, the song is the original, it is just an alternate song on this disc.

i love the who.

always thinking of their fans.

let's see this conversation:

towshend - if we take 2 songs off and add 2 different songs, nothing new mind you, no work involved, we can resell this CD as something 'revised".

daltry - great idea, add the third CSI track and we'll get the TV fans to buy it, too!

towshend - wonderful idea.

p.s. aren't due for a new version "who's next". it's been a few years since the last one.

I never bought this comp in the first place, but this "new" version does get me to thinking....

Hmmm, do I buy the old version in the hopes that maybe it will become a "collector's item?" Or do I buy the new version for the added track?? Or maybe I should wait another six months for the combo CD/DVD audio, or maybe--

(sound of head exploding)

The only Who CD I've ever bought twice is My Generation, because there are two different versions out there IIRC.

goog,

no added track, 2 removed, 2 different ones put on, nothing extra, nothing new, just different.

you really wouldn't expect pete townshend ot the who to actually give you something extra now, would you?

renny

Renny, I continue to find it odd that you single out Pete Townshend as being the biggest gouger in the reissue game, especially as it concerns releases by the Who, a band which he has only a quarter stake.



You're right--Neither Pete Townshend nor the Who have EVER reissued ANYTHING within the past 10-15 years or so containing previously unreleased bonus material.

been here, done this, not doing it again.

AMW, sorry if i offended you, i'll try not to do it again.

renny

p.s. I said "i'll try"

I'm not offended, just scratching my head...

I'm waiting for The Who to do a "Then & Now" UK farewell tour to coincide with the release. Just like the Tommy and Quadrophenea farewell tours that followed the original two farewell tours of the 1980's. They seem to need to create an illusion that you'll never see or hear from them again, before they pull out the just kidding card. I love the Who and I always will, but I can't believe how they continue to screw their loyal fan base!

Maybe they can go on tour with Barbra Streisand.

I dont understand the idea of removing "Old Red Wine" (which I like) and replacing it with something old. Oh well, I have the first one so I dont have to bother with this!

Jeff

Since the newest song on the album is from 2006, shouldn't the title be revised to "Then and Then"?

But seriously, it's a shame that they should drop Old Red Wine since this album is the only place to get that song. In my mind, it diminishes this collection, not enhances it.

don't worry, it be released again somewhere down the line as a bonus track on the tenth reissue of "who's next". they'll call it "the great lost song" or something like that.

renny

Or they'll just release this (comp) again with "restored original track listing." Pete's mantra: "Reissue, rinse, repeat."
