ANOTHER One Of THE
'LEGENDS'
'THE WHO'
"HAPPY JACK"
A
Beautiful
MONO ~ ORIGINAL 1966
NEAR-MINT-
Looks Never Played
Still in Original Shrink Wrap
The WHO ~ HAPPY JACK "This lp showcases the bizarre writing of John Entwhistle, Keith Moon, Peter Townshend AND Roger Daltrey" ~
For The TRUE 'WHO' Collector
Decca LP ~ DL 4892 ~ mono
In 2003, the album was ranked number 383 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
F.Y.I...
The album was also the band's first foray into the form of rock opera, with "A Quick One, While He's Away", a nine-minute suite of song snippets telling a story of infidelity and reconciliation.
What do .com customers think? Go find the LP (referring to the album being auctioned here)
If you like the Who's later work-- the guitar-smashing stuff-- you probably won't like this album. That said, A Quick One is my all-time favorite Who record. The songs are weird and funny and a blast to sing along with. Even though, as others have mentioned, the songs were written by various members of the band, the album has a distinct flavor of its own.
Unfortunately, when the record folks put together the CD, they BUTCHERED the album. The original recording of 'Happy Jack' was not included at all (!!), and a whole bunch of irrelevant tracks were thrown in which completely shattered the mood and sound of the original album. They did pitch in an acoustic version of 'Happy Jack' as if to make up for dropping the original track, but the extras should have been saved for a separate CD. It is jarring to hear the Who singing the Batman theme on the same CD with 'Whiskey Man.'
I love this album and you should hear it and love it too-- so crank up your record player and go find the LP.
