    The somewhat deceptive title implies that the songs were recorded live, but all recordings are studio tracks. The track list duplicates a few songs from the second and third US albums, but also contains single and EP tracks that were previously unavailable on a US album.

    Members of the group (Pete Townshend in particular) have frequently expressed their dislike of this release.[citation needed] When the cover pictures were taken the group was not made aware by Decca that the shots would be used for a US album.[citation needed] Immediately following the modest success of this album, a similar but unrelated Who compilation, Direct Hits, was released in the UK by Track Records.

    In 1974, the album was re-issued by MCA Records in the US and Canada as part of a budget-priced double album set which also included the 1966 US debut, The Who Sings My Generation. The reissue peaked at #185 on the Billboard 200.[3] It was reissued on compact disc by MCA Records in the 1980s, but was not included among the remasterings that took place in the 1990s.

    Track listing

    All songs written by Pete Townshend except where noted. Tracks from singles are presented in mono on the original release. Some versions of this compilation use the short mono version of the title track. Some Canadian CD reissues use the longer, four-minute-plus re-channeled stereo version. Some variations occur in different countries based on successes of songs in a particular market. Most, if not all, of the songs originally recorded in mono are re-channeled on the stereo LP, and subsequent re-issues.
