    Phenomenal original US pressing. Well worth picking up especially to avoid the overpriced resellers of the subsequent reissues

      Always enjoyed ODDS & SODS, Entwistle picked out a solid batch of tunes and Townshend's liner notes are amusing and sarcastic. The original vinyl release is sequenced very well, although "I'm The Face" sticks out a bit from the crowd due to its earlier vintage. This pressing sounds impressive, with explosive bass and drums and clear, crisp vocals and guitars. My copy is in really nice shape, it's very quiet with no noticeable surface noise.

        The side 2 label on my copy shows "Track Record" and "MCA Records" as well as the copyright information on the edge, but has no track listing at all.
