One of the very first rarities collections, released to try and defeat the bootleggers, the original 11-track album was released on the Track Records label in September 1974. Compiled in band down-time by bass guitarist John Entwistle, it includes the single Long Live Rock, the unedited unreleased version of The Seeker, the studio version of Young Man Blues, alternative versions of Dogs Part Two and Water, amongst many other gems. Graham Hughes shot the cover for Odds and Sods - Id stayed up the night before with Letterset, designing the letters on the American football helmets with each of the bands names printed on. When I finally managed to get them together in one place, which happened to be the bathroom, Pete and Rogers helmets didnt quite fit so thats why their wearing each others. That Quadrophenia tour wasnt very pleasant and the band were arguing a lot. When I showed Pete the blow-up of the cover, he didnt like it and told me so. I was so frustrated by this time, I started ripping it up . . . Thats when he decided he liked it! I stuck it back together with adhesive tape and Roger said, call it a bunch of odds and sods.This reissue includes the original LP sequence on disc one and adds 14 bonus tracks B-sides, rarities & extras on disc two, Odds & Sods Too - to create a definitive, 25-track double LP.The stunning artwork and design restore the original die-cut front sleeve and includes all Pete Townshends original track annotation. Pressed on heavyweight coloured vinyl: Disc one RED / Disc two YELLOW Also features replica 1973 North American tour poster image (as part of the gatefold) and lyric insert, with two printed inner bags Remastered and cut using half-speed mastering process at Abbey Road studios. "I tried to arrange it like a parallel sort of Who career what singles we might have released and what album tracks we might have released. It could have been a double album, there was that much material." John Entwistle - 1974
