One of the more overblown box sets, this four-CD collection does include all of the Who's big hits and the lion's share of their key album tracks. Previously unreleased rarities include some interesting selections (the '60s outtakes "Early Morning Cold Taxi" and "Melancholia"), but these bits and pieces, which include some live versions, commercials, Keith Moon sketches, and the like, are mostly inessential. The post-Keith Moon cuts that bring you up to the present are out of the league of the body of the Who's work. As most of the Who's '60s and '70s albums are very strong, cohesive works in and of themselves, this can't be recommended as either a starting point or a necessary addition.
Comes in a special cardboard box including 4 jewel case CDs and the booklet.
Sleeve notes:
This collection contains Thirty Years Of The Very Best from "Best Rock'n Roll Band In The World".
79 classic recordings, many of them remixed and sounding better than ever before, including 14 previously unreleased tracks, 14 live performances, other Who rarities, commercials, stage and studio dialoque plus a rare glimps into life with the Moons.
Includes 72 pages of photographs, memorabilia, full liner notes, a Who diary, full discography and foreword by Pete Townshend.
