will there be a cd of these albums
No. Just vinyl.
Your dog keeps licking my nose and chewing up all those letters saying you better!
Is it possible to buy it being here in Brazil? Tks!
John looks so cool!
Love Pete’s take on “Don’t Let Go the Coat”, maybe even better than the album version. No disrespect to Roger. Love the prints and the colored vinyl! Thank you for putting this out!
This looks incredible, not my favourite The Who album, but the extras are more than enough for this to go on my birthday wishlist…
Long live The Who and long live vinyl!
Very Under-rated record. I love ‘Daily Records’, ‘Don’t Let Go the Coat’ and ‘Cache Cache’. Deserved much more recognition than it got.
I thought there was a download code that came with this purchase? I just received my order and there’s no code or link with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I do not have a turntable to create a digital version and only purchased because previous comments here said that there was a download code.
Hi John, there should have been a download code from The Sound of Vinyl in the sleeve. Was your record still in the shrinkwrap when you got it? If not, it may have been removed or fallen out.
Only the copies sold in Europe contained the code.
