    Recording:  Soundboard and Audience
    Comments: This is a pretty neat CD with very early live Who tracks while they
    were called the High Numbers. Tracks 1-11 are live with decent sound considering
    the era. The tracks don't flow smoothly and some cut in and out abruptly. Some
    sound like there is an audience while others don't. Tracks 12-18 are mono studio
    tracks. These are all instrumental and are really nothing special, although, during a
    part of Track 16, I did find myself singing the "Ivor the engine driver" line from A Quick
    One While He's Away    . Obviously, way too early for Pete to have written it (if he did
    write this) with AQOWHA in mind, but the beat reminds me of it. Tracks 1-11 are
    supposedly from the Railway Hotel. Track 6 is actually another cut of You Really
    Got Me    . Tracks 12-18 are allegedly from Abbey Road Studios and are all instrumen-
    tal.. The Who Concert Guide web site does not list these dates. However, you may
    want to double-check the Who Concert File book for studio recording sessions and
    dates. Compare with the items listed above.
