The Who - A Quick One (Happy Jack)

"The group's second album is a less impressive outing than their debut, primarily because, at the urging of their managers, all four members penned original material (though Pete Townshend wrote more than anyone else). The pure adrenaline of My Generation also subsided somewhat as the band began to grapple with more complex melodic and lyrical themes, especially on the erratic mini-opera, 'A Quick One While He's Away.' Still, there's some great madness on Keith Moon's instrumental 'Cobwebs and Strange,' and Townshend delivered some solid mop pop with 'Run Run Run' and 'So Sad About Us.' John Entwistle was also revealed to be a writer of considerable talent (and a morbid bent) on 'Whisky Man' and 'Boris the Spider.'" – All Music Guide

"A Quick One" by The Who posted on 11/15/2005 2 Stars Don't waste your time and money on this version. Either the mastering or master tape (or both) was not up to par. Wait for the Classic Records version to be released.
