The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again - Making of...

[Vince Evert]

Song was recorded almost 50 years ago in April/May 1971 before it was issued on a single 45rpm - what a great song it was !

This topic is a celebration of the song and "Who's Next" album.

Let's start with several isolated mixes.

The band must have been angry when they discovered the record company had done this. They cut five minutes!

They cut too much of the song out. I agree

This is the demo original but with Pete Townshend singing lead. I like this but it's not near as dynamic as the album cut.
