The Singles (The Who album)

The Singles is a compilation of singles by the English rock band the Who, released in November 1984 by Polydor Records. It was not released in the United States or Canada, and it lacks a number of early singles.

The version of "I Can See for Miles" contained herein is not the classic single version, but a BBC live recording with a loud, overdubbed bass track.
