WHO - Live At The Fillmore East 1968 - SPA Top Gear Expanded Edition - VERY RARE

Limited, very tastefully presented, fan-club CD containing the legendary performance by the band at New York's Fillmore East, from April 1968. With the previously released LP "The Who Sell Out" to their name, the band, having transformed from a recent mod-garage formation into a thoroughbred quartet playing heavy, improvised, but melodic rock, planned to record and release an official concert. Hence the perfect quality of this hour of material! Of course it is one of the most frequently copied performances in The Who's long career, but this version beats the old editions with slightly better sound quality and corrected (sped up) speed. This CD contains the only known live versions of "Relax" (here in the form of a long, Cream-style improvisation), "Little Billy" - known from the studio only from the LP "Odds And Sodds" - and an unknown cover of Eddie Cochran's "My Way". In addition three tracks (recorded in March 1967 for German Beat-Club) from London's Marquee and little-known, but superb tracks from singles and a British compilation (1968-1969) - in original mixes! Plus several rare, great photos from the period! An absolute must! (JL)
