The Who – Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy (Vinyl LP, 1971, Decca DL 79184, Gloversville Press)

Why This Record Matters
Released in 1971, Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy collects key recordings from The Who’s 1960s and early-1970s catalog, including “My Generation,” “I Can See For Miles,” “Pinball Wizard,” and “The Seeker.” The compilation draws from recordings produced by Shel Talmy, Kit Lambert, and The Who and became an important overview of the band’s early singles period.
