ODDS AND SODS is a collection of outtakes and rarities from the 1960s through the early '70s, including "I'm The Face," recorded by The Who when they called themselves The High Numbers. ODDS AND SODS stands out a bit in the Who canon. ... Full DescriptionThe aptly titled 1974 collection features songs that, for one reason or another, didn't end up on their initial recordings. It's a mixed bag to be sure, one that includes pre-Who numbers like "I'm the Face," introspective and religious-themed pop ("Too Much of Anything," "Faith in Something Bigger"), and some inspired goofiness like the anti-smoking "Little Billy." Unlike a lot of out-takes collections, there are no clinkers here, and there are several gems.
"Pure and Easy," from the aborted "Lighthouse" project, ranks with any of the great melodies Pete Townshend has written. The slowly building "Naked Eye," passionately sung in alternating verses by Daltrey and Townshend, ebbs and flows to an explosive climax. The most familiar tune here is probably "Long Live Rock," whose canny lyrics look back at the band's early days and boast, "We were the first band to vomit in the bar/and find the distance to the stage too far." A quirky collection that grows more appealing as time goes by.

Remastered Hide Description Odds And Sods Music Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews GREAT !!!!!!
I'm a huge Who fan, so I would buy this one even if it would be plenty of rubbish, but that's not the case because Odds & Sods is a fantastic collection of unknown/less known tracks. When a band leaves in the vaults gems like 'Water', 'Naked Eye', 'Pure And Easy' or 'Time Is Passing' that means how incredible that band is.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No THIS IS MY FAVORITE WHO ALBUM OF ALL!!!
Some of you might be surprised, but this album is indeed my favorite Who album. I have the most fun listening to this one. All of these unreleased songs were picked by the late great John Entwistle and he did a magnificent job picking these songs. Naked Eye is the best song and the unreleased version of Love Ain't For Keeping, which is on the remastered version is a very close second.

There is definitely some who classic material on this album...especially nubmers like the leslie west version of "Love aint for Keeping" and "Long live Rock"......not quite up there with quadrophenia and whos next, but definitely a good album.

Has Anyone Ever Noticed This Is The Best Band Ever?
This album is made out of rare b-sides, alternate versions and songs that the band threw away but still manages to better than anything I can write. Oh well, goodnight...

Mark Mallman refuses to let anyone in on the joke. As one of the most compelling and unique songwriters and performers to emerge from Minneapolis in years, Mark Mallman's reputation is exploding out of his home base into the world at large. His Midwestern fan base has been building strongly for years, as he has opened for a wide range of acts from Guided by Voices to Ozomatli, Beth Orton to Everlast, and Cat Power to The Barenaked Ladies - weird. Mallman mesmerizes audiences, blending the hard hitting showmanship of bands like Scissor Sisters and the Darkness with the classic songwriting styles of early Warren Zevon and Joe Jackson. He continues his reputation for incendiary live performances in support of his new album Mr. Serious. More than just documenting a great songwriter and performer, this album synthesizes the manic energy and reflective song craft like a displaced text book of rock.From September 4th - 6th Mark Mallman performed "Marathon 2: The Longest Rock Song Ever Written", a mammoth 600+ page history of his own life - complete with a chorus and rhyming lyrics. The event doubled the record ...
