I got here because of Chapter 8 in Dave Marsh's Before I Get Old - The Story of The Who. This was one of their first recordings for Fontana Records. What's interesting is as famous as the Who are now, and as awesome a relic as this song is, and as bloody cool as it sounds now, it was not released as it was felt a band needed original songs to make it big.

This sounds like a recorded as apposed to a live version? I have only heard a live version, no idea it was recorded...thought they only recorded I'm the face and Zoot suit as The High Numbers? Anyone have any info?

[@seatonsmithy436]

This was recorded at the same session as I'm The Face & Zoot Suit.
