The Austin Chronicle

(MCA/Universal Chronicles)Who's Nextjust got better. For starters, the original master tapes had been lost for decades, and no CD issue prior to this 2-CDDeluxe Editionused the correct tapes. The packaging features different inside art, with exceptional ...more

PopMatters

In the early '80s, MCA Records reissued the Who's Who's Next and Odds & Sods as a double-pack vinyl set, as well as a single cassette. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music ...more
