BBC Sessions (The Who album)


BBC Sessions by The Who was released 15 February 2000 on Polydor Records internationally and MCA Records in the U.S. It contains 24 songs and two jingles recorded live at the BBC studios in London.
With the exception of the jingles being used to bookend the album, and the third track being misplaced, The Who's recordings are presented in chronological order.

Track listing

All tracks written by Pete Townshend except where noted. Due to publishing restrictions, the American version dropped "Man with the Money" and edited out the few lines from "Spoonful" contained in "Shakin' All Over".
