Compilation albums

Period collections

The Who had an active life as a singles band until, in December 1972, they released their last stand-alone single "Relay". The non-album singles, b-sides and various unreleased materials were occasionally collected and released as albums.


The resulting albums are distinguished from standard compilations because they are collections of singles and other unreleased material of the relevant period rather than retrospective "greatest hits" or "best of..." collections.

Upto11.net - Artist Profile for The Who (2659 words)
By the end of the seventies The Who had completely given up the power trio format and began touring with a keyboardist, backup singers, and a small horn section, none of which were officially members of the band.
The musicians of the Who were also natural showmen: singer Daltrey was a dynamic front man, twirling his microphone on the end of its cord, while Townshend played crashing chords on his guitar with great windmill-like sweeps of his arms and the maniacal Moon battered his drums powerfully.
Who's Next was followed by a second Rock opera called Quadrophenia (1973), with a story line based on the clashes between Mods and Rockers in the early 1960s, particularly the riots between the two factions at Brighton.
