Found this when I bought ‘Meaty Beaty …” Great Who tune. Now it’s going through my head.
Ha! I just listened to “Meaty Beaty”- a couple hours ago!
Love that record and what a great cover.
A record I love to crank to high volume levels.
Sounds good! Interesting jacket Pete’s wearing — a boy scout gone rogue 🙂
Great tune. For some reason, I only “discovered” it a few years ago – I think in part because it was a non-album single. Well, I guess better late than never!
