Editorial Review:
By the mid-'70s, even The Who's leftovers had more interest than most rock best-of albums--"Glow Girl" is a concise blueprint of 1969's "Tommy"; "Naked Eye" and "Pure and Easy" were victims of the doomed Lifehouse project; "I'm the Face" was the band's mod-obsessed first single; and even "Little Billy," an antismoking advertisement, still rocks hard. John Entwistle's faux country "Now I'm a Farmer" was contemptible, but the closing anthem "Long Live Rock" redeemed such missteps. The 1998 CD reissue added studio versions of "Young Man Blues" and "Summertime Blues," among many others, and resequenced the tracks. --Steve Knopper

Rating:  - Review of The Who Odds & Sods album
This was a purchase of a CD to replace the cassette version of this album that I had enjoyed. I obviously knew then that I would like it from a musical standpoint. As an added extra, it contained many more songs that were not on the cassette version. Although there were no songs I had never heard, there were different versions of some of them that I had not heard (studio v.s. live or just a different version). Overall I am extemely satisfied, Shipping was fast and CD was received in excellent condition. ... Read More
Rating: - Odd but not Bod
John came up with this album out of sheer boredom - Roger was heading law suits against MCA for back record royalitys they didn't get - Pete was totally ingrosed in the production of the Tommy movie sound track - and keith was just partying in every pub in England - this period was the start of the downfall of the tight playing live act up to this point - John had to do something being the band was not touring which he lived for at that point - so he dug up out takes old singles and compiled this album Odd ...

Rating: - Essential to any fan of The Who's music and career
Originally conceived and compiled by John Entwistle in 1974, this was an 11-track collection looking back at some tracks which were, for some reason or another, never released. They weren't in chronological order, and it was sort of like looking at someone elses' old photographs, despite the good quality of said tracks. Everything in it was good, and one felt priveleged to get an inside look.
So much reissued material nowadays, seems to sacrifice quality for the sake of quantity. You often get ... Read More
Rating: - "Time Is Passing" Pick this up already with the bonus material!
As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's.
Originally a terrific vinyl treat from 1974, the 1988 remastered "Odds & Sods" includes twelve bonus tracks that completely changes where the previously released songs appear.
I recall very vividly having conversations with a plethora of Who collectors when the improved "Odds ... Read More
Rating: - Great replacement for vinyl...
I purchased this CD to replace my album, and I was quite pleased with the extended play list! There are quite a few additional songs on the CD!
