the who

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.

From my experience, Seabird is on the right track. Somewhere
on the package youll find the words "remastered" or "digitally remastered". Another way you can tell (in most cases) is if the CD is housed with a clear CD tray, instead of the black, or gray tray. These trays are being used more frequently with newer releases, and I dont beleive the Who
titles are being released not remastered anymore. Lastly,
get the matrix, or catalog number off the package, and then hit the big on-line sites to see what they have in their description. Usually there pretty good about such notes.

Personnally, Ive shelled out a bit for my favorite Who titles. Tommy MFSL, Whos Next & Quadrophenia Jap rematers.
I had a copy of Whos Next MFSL, but I dropped it at eBay
for a cool $105. Payed for all my others with that!
Good Luck
