Description
Mega rare UK pressing. Reaction, WHO 7. I'm uncertain whether this is a 1966 original or the 1983 reissue. Either way it's very very very hard to find.
Ready Steady Who is a 7" EP by The Who, originally released on 11 November 1966. The title refers to a Ready Steady Go! TV special the band had recently appeared in, but the EP contains different recordings to what was performed on the TV show. These consist of two original songs by Pete Townshend, as well as covers of the theme from the Batman TV series and Jan and Dean's "Bucket T". Also included is a cover of The Regents' "Barbara Ann", a song whose famous arrangement by The Beach Boys The Who follows more closely.
The original EP credits the song "Batman" to Jan Berry, Don Altfeld (misspelled as "Altfield") and Fred Weider. The song was actually written by Neal Hefti, and is not a cover of the Jan and Dean-embellished version. The credit was corrected in the liner notes to the 1995 CD release of A Quick One.
VINYL: A few hairlines, the odd light mark. Plays beautifully. NM-.
SLEEVE: The odd light crease, touch of edge and corner wear. NM-.
