Críticas:

"a thorough, intelligent guide"--Classic Images; "a scrupulous job...the text benefits greatly from Atkins' obvious love for his subject, which enhances its readability and ensures that tedium never sets in...a treat for the die-hard fan in its attention to detail...this book should enthrall any Who fan or anyone interested in the recording history of one of the greatest, most innovative bands in rock history. BOOK OF THE MONTH."--Simon Ward, Record Collector.

Reseña del editor:

More than just a biography or discography, this work is a thoroughly detailed guide to the recorded works of the legendary British rock and roll group The Who. From their early hits of the 1960s (""I Can't Explain"" and ""My Generation"") through the ambitious concept works (""Tommy"", ""Lifehouse"", ""Quadrophenia"") to their later successes, this work encompasses the entire range of The Who's music. The chronological narrative stretches from their beginnings in West London in the early 1960s to their international superstar status through the 1970s and 1980s. Each phase of the band's recording career is given detailed coverage, along with historical background notes and a critical analysis of every known Who recording.Many previously uncovered facts are incorporated into the text, and the author has been able to glean exclusive information from The Who's archives. Unrealized Who projects such as the ""Lifehouse"" film, as well as many unreleased performances, are discussed and analyzed for the first time in print. Finally, the work contains a definitive discography of currently available CDs and an exhaustive appendix of every known Who song with relevant recording information.
