At first glance this looks like a re-release of the 2004 compilation THE WHO: THEN AND NOW 1964-2004, but look a little closer and you will see a slightly different track listing and also a wonderfully imaginative new title:- THE WHO: THEN AND NOW 1964-2007. (!)
The main difference this time is the inclusion of BABA O'RILEY, my favourite WHO song and a baffling omission from the earlier compilation. It's as powerful as ever, featuring the most impassioned vocal that Daltrey ever committed to vinyl. A true enduring classic.
The main point of interest for diehard WHO fans last time around was the inclusion of two "new" songs, the first new WHO recordings in donkeys years. Whilst OLD RED WINE was as stale as its' title might suggest, the other track REAL GOOD LOOKING BOY was excellent, and has wisely been retained for the new compilation (whilst OLD RED WINE has quietly been poured down the sink).
Bringing the new compilation further up to date is the inclusion of IT'S NOT ENOUGH from the bands 2006 album ENDLESS WIRE. A strange choice, in my opinion, as MIKE POST THEME or (better still) WE GOT A HIT would have been far more appropriate.
Apart from these minor quibbles, though, this is an excellent CD full of wonderful, timeless rock music. And at less than a tenner it represents ludicrously good value for money. Buy it and love it!

Really pleasing CD. I've got a lot of the material on vinyl but wanted a CD. Looking at the playlist I thought that I would just play the first part of it, but the whole thing is nicely balanced going chronologically through the Who career. I just listen to it from start to finish. The old analogue recordings have been nicely remastered bringing out parts of the recordings that I hadn't previously noticed. Even my 22 year old daughter likes it and our musical taste doesn't line up very often.
I would recommend this recording to anyone.

A great compilation
When I bought this album about 4 months ago it was about £4 dearer so I bought it used instead. I thought it was a rip off for that much money and I'm glad I bought it used. Read more
