Pete Townshend's demos had grown legendary among Who collectors well before
the official release of the double-album Scoop in 1983. On each demo,
Townshend worked out full arrangements, which the Who would often follow
exactly. He also recorded a wealth of songs and instrumental pieces that
never made it to record. Over the course of two albums, Scoop features 25 of
these demos, including both classic Who songs ("So Sad About Us," "Bargain,"
"Behind Blue Eyes," "Magic Bus," "Love Reign O'er Me") and
unreleased gems ("Politician," "Melancholia," "To Barney Kessell," "Mary").
