I've been digging into UK reaction at the time of "I Can See For Miles" and I think it had the same problem Quadrophenia had in 1973 with some listeners. The sound was too much for them. You had to educate your ears to hear it.

the equivalent of a folio edition with a strong historical perspective into a time when everything about pop music was changing more than it ever would again. Expensive indeed but with lots of content both visually and aurally. Worth it.

Finally got the big The Who Sell Out Super Duper Deluxe Edition yesterday. With the caveat that this has been my favorite Who album since I first heard it so many decades ago, this is a gorgeous, thoughtful package…
