BACK IN 1972 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!

CONTAINING THE IMFAMOUS 'PROMOTIONAL ONLY' SWEARING PAMPHLET!!!! AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!

CONTAINS A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT PETE TOWNSHEND (IT WAS TYPED BY HIM), THE WHO, AND OF COURSE ABOUT THE TRACKS & RELEASE OF THIS LP!!!! IT ALSO GIVES SOME INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE ELSEWHERE - AND DETAILS THE PERSONEL ON EACH TRACK, AS WELL AS DETAILING TRACKS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR WHO LPs (BUT WERE DROPPED AND APPEARED ON THIS LP INSTEAD!)!!!! IT ALSO USES SOME BAD LANGUAGE (ONE 'SWEAR' WORD IN PARTICULAR!) - WHICH MEANT THAT A LOT OF RADIO STATIONS DESTROYED THIS INSERT IMMEDIATELY ON RECEIPT OF IT, MEANING BARELY ANY '100% COMPLETE' PRESS PACK 1ST PRESSINGS EXIST TODAY!!!!
