The Who: Magic Bus on Tour
Magic Bus:
The Who on Tour
was the fourth
American album
by British
rock band
The Who,
released
by Decca
in the US
in September 1968
to capitalize on
the success
of their single
of the same name.
It is a compilation album
of previously
released material,
and was not
issued in the UK,
although the album
was also released at
approximately the same time
in Canada.
It peaked at #39
on the Billboard 200.
The somewhat deceptive title
implies that the songs
were recorded live,
but all recordings
are studio tracks.
The track list
duplicates a few songs
from the second
and
third US albums,
but also contains
single and EP tracks
that were previously
unavailable on a
US album.
Members of the group
(Pete Townshend in particular)
have frequently expressed
their dislike
of this release
. When the cover pictures
were taken the group
was not made aware
by Decca
that the shots would be used
for a US album.
Immediately following
the modest success
of this album,
a similar but unrelated
Who compilation,
Direct Hits,
was released
in the UK
by Track Records.
Out of print in the US
