This is the same album as the UK release on the Track label from 1968. The sleeve has the word STEREO in the top right hand corner and both labels have MONO on them. The actual tracks are a mixture of both.

    I'm A Boy, I Can See For Miles, In The City, Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand (true wide stereo)
    all the rest (mono)

      This Japanese version uses true stereo and true mono masters, unlike the UK original issue. Hence, it is not "the same album as the UK release". Details e.g. here: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/direct-hits-the-most-fun-who-album.315197/

        this is the japan reissue of this compilation that originally came out on track records in the uk in 1968, this reissue came out in 1980 and was released by polydor kk japan, this comes with a nice fat thick red obi strip as it came in a series and has a nice one page japan insert..
