Album Description
Deleted in the U.S. since MCA overhauled their entire back catalog & released the comprehensive 'The Very Best Of The Who', this is a 1985 reissue of their hit 1971 singles comp featuring 14 classics from 1965-1969. Includes 'I Can't Explain', 'Happy Jack', 'Pinball Wizard', 'My Generation', 'The Magic Bus', 'Substitute' and 'The Kids Are Alright'.
Album Details
The U.S. version of this compilation is long deleted by MCA. The beauty of this collection is the sheer power of the contents. It encapsulates all the who singles from 1965-1969 period. Before 1972, they were the real punks of rock. An inherent freneticism runs through classics like 'I Can't Explain', 'I Can See for Miles', 'My Generation', 'Pinball Wizard' & the other tracks here. After '72, their sound changed, became more professional and refined. This disc shows their early essence.

A Great Package of The Who's Greatest Hits!.......2006-10-09
After the success of The Who's 6th album, "Who's Next", Decca Records decided to throw together a compilation to reintroduce The Who's earlier stuff to new fans who had only heard "Who's Next". The end result was "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy", the second Who compilation to be released on either side of the Atlantic and the third overall (preceded by "Direct Hits" in the UK and "Magic Bus" in the US. The album was released on November 20, 1971 in the US peaking at number 11 in the charts. It was released on December 3, 1971 in the UK, due to the fact that Kit Lambert wanted to change the track listing but wasn't able to. In the UK, "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" reached number 9.
The album contains 14 of The Who's best tracks between 1965 and 1970. This album contained many non-album singles as well as album favorites. "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" does a good job summarizing The Who's career up to 1970 in under 45 minutes. While it might seem obselete to newer compilations like "The Ultimate Collection", "Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" is still a fan favorite.
All songs written by Pete Townshend unless specified.
1. "I Can't Explain" - 2:05
2. "The Kids Are Alright" - 2:45
3. "Happy Jack" - 2:12
4. "I Can See For Miles" - 4:06
5. "Pictures of Lily" - 2:43
6. "My Generation" - 3:18
7. "The Seeker" - 3:11
8. "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" (Daltrey-Townshend) - 2:42
9. "Pinball Wizard" - 2:59
10. "A Legal Matter" - 2:48
11. "Boris the Spider" (Entwistle) - 2:28
12. "Magic Bus" - 3:21 (originally 4:28 on the LP)
13. "Substitute" - 3:49
14. "I'm a Boy" (alternate version) - 3:41
NOTE: If you want the long version of "Magic Bus", you will have to either
(a) hunt down a copy of "The Who Collection, Vol. 2", which was only released in the UK and is long out-of-print
(b) find a Who bootleg that was kind enough to include the song
(c) get the vinyl version and have it transfered to CD
I'm not sure which one costs the least but whichever one is less expensive is the one I suggest doing if your desperate to get your hands on the long version of "Magic Bus"
"Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy" was released on CD in the 1980's and has long since been deleted from the US catalog. Fortunately, it is still in print in Canada and a Canadian import of this CD is very easy to come by, as well as the price being somewhat reasonable ($8.99-$12.99 in any local CD store). If you are a collecter, I suggest buying the US version, as it is hard to come by, even used. But whoever you are, I would suggest buying this album as it is a great album to have in your collection.
Really good start to get to know this band's music.......2006-07-04
And then you realize it's only the tip of the iceberg. This is a great collection of singles by the great band. Unfortunately, during the 80s, Decca/MCA didn't really care about the Who and issued their catalogue without much fanfare. My 1985 CD version of this has adverts for other "best of" collections by the likes of 3 Dog Night! The CD didn't even include the brief song by song commentary by Pete that came with the original LP.
All that negative stuff being said, MBBB is a nice way to be introduced to the 'orrible 'Oo!
THE BEST 'Best of' of the Who (or: Who Could Live Without Lily?).......2006-06-05
This collection is simply THE essential 'best of' with the Who. No other best of has its energy or drive. As a casual Who listener, I of course want every album from 'My Generation' to 'Quadrophenia', and thus I get some of these songs there. But classics such as 'I Can't Explain', 'Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere', 'Substitute', 'Pictures Of Lily', etc., appear nowhere on these studio recordings.
Therefor this album is needed. Not some other cheap collection, but THIS, their great 60's-singles, all collected to one raw mass of lightning! Here is the thunder of 'My Generation' along side the striking pop of their two first singles, the psychedelia of 'I Can See For Miles', 'Magic Bus', 'Pictures Of Lily' and 'Pinball Wizard' and all of their other greatest songs... who could live without 'Pictures Of Lily'? I'm just asking, cos' I don't know...
Best Who Collection.......2006-03-28
OK so Anyway Anyhow Anywhere never did much for me but other than that this LP rocks! All of the Who's most popular songs from their debut up to Tommy (actually shortly after Tommy), combining big hit singles like I Can't Explain, My Generation, Substitute and I Can See for Miles woth popular album tracks like A Legal Matter. And of course it's got Pinball Wizard, the best track on the uneven Tommy LP, and the fine single-only releease The Seeker, which is an anthem even though it wasn't a big hit back in the day.
Though I would've liked Call Me Lightning and Go to the Mirror Boy on the compilation, this is a great way to get into the Who...if you can find it.
New to the Who?.......2006-03-22
Well then, start here!
This collection brings together fourteen of the Who's finest pre-Who's Next songs, along with some cool cover art. Aboard are ubiquitous classics including "My Generation," "Happy Jack," and "I Can't Explain," plus fan favorites, such as the unspeakaby awesome "Boris the Spider." You even get a few overlooked gems, like "A Legal Matter," one of the most propulsive mod stompers to tear a hole in the fabric of the sixties. Plus, MBB&B is economical: At a lean and mean forty or so minutes, it leaves out the less.... "good," as it were, mid-Seventies material. The result? Meaty, Beaty, Big & Bouncy is simply a great listen, a relentless march of song after brilliant song, and a showcase for one of the finest bands to grace the eardrums of this planet. If you're new to the Who, make this your first purchase. Follow it up with the two brilliant seventies Who albums not represented on this collection: Who's Next and Quadrophenia. Happy listening!

Excellent Summary Of The Early Years.......2003-07-13
If you are looking for a quick synopsis of the early years of the Who, look no further. This compilation has it all without any second rate filler tunes. Big Hits like I Can See For Miles, Substitute, and My Generation are all here. However, there are some hidden gems such as The Seeker and A Legal Matter. And how about the John Entwhistle sung Boris The Spider.
Big time fans might like to go for the bigger compilations or even the original recordings witht he tons of newly added bonus tracks. However, this compilation still stands strong over the test of time with its fourteen strong songs. Give it a whirl.
