the who


i was in tower records today and they have this cd on sale. i can't tell if it's been remastered or not. how do you tell? also, one of the clerks said that a new version of the cd was coming out with many more of the songs from "Tommy" to be included.

since the current version is only $8 i'll buy it if it's the remastered version.

thanks for the help.

Buy the MFSL Gold CD recordings of the WHO, especially Who's Next. THat's if you can find it. Incredible recordings done by MFSL, still the best regardless of the remastering technique done today.
Usually, a remastered vesion will have a statement to that effect (great selling point!) I'm not sure if you're specifically looking for "Tommy" but the original 2 disc version is nothing great (sonically) but I don't know about the single disc version. The MFSL version is to die for, but it can get kinda pricy. "Who's Next" MFSL gold disc has been discribed as the best version in ANY format, but get ready to pony up some bucks as MFSL was rumored to produce only 1000 pressings before going under. If you want earlier Who (up to Quadrophenia) the 4 CD set "30 Years of Maximum R&B" is a winner. I dont know if this set is still in current production. Good Luck!
MFSL produced some excellent CDs,but there are some standouts and Whos Next is certainly one of them.Unfortunatly this is a very hard and expensive cd to find.
