The Who - "Who´s Right? - The Lost 1970 album.



In january of 1970, the members of “The Who”: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle & Keith Moon, met at the IBC studios in London to recorded new material; at the same time, the group begins a new round of concerts, with the aim of releasing an album live, after ruling out the possibility of taking something out of the more than eighty hours they had of the tour of 69. Two of those concerts were recorded. In Leeds University on feb.14 and the City Hall, from Hull, the next day; but due to problems with the bass that was not recorded correctly, they could only use the Leeds concert tapes. 

In march, the record company asked them for new material to publish a single. They only had two songs: “The Seeker” written by Pete, recorded Jan.19 & “Here for more”, recorded on feb.10, one of the few composed by group vocalist Roger Daltrey. This single. published worldwide on 21 march. Meanwhile, the live album: "Live at Leeds" was released in the U.S on may 16, by Decca/MCA and the U.K on may 23, by Track/Polydor. From this Lp came a single: "Summertime blues", a version of Eddie Cochran, on the B side was placed "Heaven and Hell", written by group bassist John Entwistle, recorded on april 13. 
May, the Who returned, once again, to the studio, now "Eel Pie" to record more songs: At the end of these sessions, an acetate was made; so in the side A was placed a selection of the five best songs recorded since january to may. Leaving on the B side other unreleased tracks from feb.67 tp oct.68. 
But finally this Lp was canceled, as the summer Ep  a few days after its publication in august.Bit.ly/01wwos Some of these tunes (I don´t even know myself  &  Water)  were used to complete different singles or even as part of the new "lifehouse"  project; and the rest, appeared published on "Odds and Sods", an album from 1974 that consists of studio outtakes and rarities.
