The three then-surviving original members of The Who (Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Townshend) performed as a group in two songs, “Dig” and “Fire”, although the latter was a cover of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown’s hit.
“A Friend Is a Friend” and “I Won’t Run Anymore” were commercially released as singles;
This black vinyl version is engineered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios using a half-speed mastering technique which produces a superior vinyl cut.
