    back in 1994 this was a killer us only 4 cd box set that saw a lot of then who tracks that had yet to make it to the cd format for the first time especially here in the us, mca put this out along with an awesome vhs tape called maximum r&b ( 30 years of wich is now on dvd) as well as a great booklet with great photos, this box set also features the whos 1991 cover of saturday nights alright for fighting wich i dont belive is on anything else, i have the japan version of this box set as well as an mca super edition of this wich comes with the box set you see here as well as a t shirt and the video all in one box, this is the ultimate us who collection next to some awesome japan and european bootlegs i have that feature stuff that did not make this box set, sadly since 1982 the whos days of making great new music is almost 4 decades behind them now in 2017 as that endless wire record back in 06 was awful, i can be happy if the who released awesome sets like this every couple of years from here on in, no more new music and or new live shows, there are still a lot of killer live who shows i have as boots from the 1960s and 70s that should be officially released........................as well as 60s/70s t.v appearances
