Track Listing
All songs written by Pete Townshend except where noted. Tracks pulled from singles on the original album are presented in mono on the original release. This compilation uses the title track shorter Mono version. Some Canadian CD reissues use the longer 4 minute plus stereo version (also the case on the Canadian version of the compilation album Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy). As was standard practice at the time this album was compiled, recycled B-sides to singles and other tracks were filler around the big current single. Masters were used at the discretion of the record label or compilation directors, taking into factor availability of masters, whether it be stereo or mono. Some variations occur in different countries based on successes of songs for that countries' market, along with then-standard procedure master availability for that country. Most, if not all, of the songs appearing in mono are rechanneled on the Stereo LP, and subsequent vinyl re-issues (Like the 1974 MCA 2-For with The Who Sings My Generation).

Famous quotes containing the word track:
“Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
