The Who: Odds & Sods/Them: Backtrackin'
Ken Barnes, Phonograph Record, November 1974
1974 HAS CERTAINLY been a good year for reissues, even if UA's Jan & Dean set didn't quite make it to the starting gate. Four Beach Boys packages (of varying quality, admittedly, and nothing startling), plus the superb Zombies set, the truly fabulous Creation album (actually out late last year on English Charisma only, but an album not to be missed), and now Backtrackin' and Odds & Sods. A retrospectacle to delight the ears....
