Description

Odds & Sods is The Who's celebrated collection of rare and previously unreleased recordings, compiled by John Entwistle and originally released in 1974. Featuring material recorded between 1964 and 1973, the album includes fan favourites such as "Pure And Easy", "Naked Eye", "Glow Girl", "Long Live Rock" and "Postcard". The release became one of the earliest major archival rock albums and remains an essential part of The Who catalogue.

Pressing Notes

Original Japanese Track Records pressing issued under catalogue number ECPO-5-TR. This copy features the desirable early ECPO-5-A3 matrix, confirming an early Japanese pressing from the original 1974 release period. Japanese Track Records editions are highly regarded for their exceptional manufacturing quality, quiet vinyl surfaces and premium packaging.

The Japanese edition includes the distinctive die-cut sleeve and Japanese lyric insert, and remains considerably scarcer than many UK and European versions. Early matrix examples such as the A3 cut are particularly sought after by collectors seeking original Japanese pressings of this classic Who rarity compilation.
