Added "Tattoo", "Silas Stingy", "Glittering Girl" and "Sunrise" so the album will fit in Who's Lily's continuity.
Widened stereo field of "Call Me Lightning".
New stereo mix of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
New edit of "Magic Bus", a hybrid of the long and short versions
Next in a series of social-distant-reconstructions is my upgrade of the proposed and promptly withdrawn 1968 album Who's For Tennis? by The Who. Originally intend as a proper studio album (or live album, as some maintain) that would have been released in-between The Who Sell Out and Tommy, the idea for the album was scrapped and the recorded material instead came out as either single releases or remained in the vaults. This reconstruction draws from numerous sources to create a completely stereo, cohesive album, utilizing the best mastering available and is volume-adjusted for aural continuity. Also, a completely new and unique stereo mix of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was created, unavailable elsewhere and exclusive to this reconstruction. This revised version is meant to follow Who's Lily, so there is no overlap between the two albums.
