All of the bands members, but in particular Pete Townshend, guitarist and principal songwriter, absorbed influences which included blues and jazz from across the post-war years as well as the R&B and early rock n roll which was the staple diet of the more mainstream beat era bands, and it helped shape the highly distinctive and original character of their music, extending as it did into rock operas as well as chart hits. This CD brings together some of those records which influenced the way they performed and the repertoire of their early years, as well as framing their very individual musical personality. Its a hugely entertaining collection of music in its own right, but it also provides a fascinating insight into what helped make them such a unique force in music.
