Amazing Work From a Legend, Sep 21 2006
By Jesse Ross - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Another Scoop (Audio CD)
I find it truly amazing to hear these songs played on acoustic guitar. It is really interesting to me to compare the way Pete sings it on the original take versus how Roger would sing it on the master that everyone knows. I love hearing demos of any band, but particularly of The Who. To hear "Substitute" without Keith Moon roaring in the background. Or to hear "You Better You Bet" with lyrics missing. It's thrilling for any Who fan.Every band seems to have, at some point in their career, put together a collection of unreleased work. The Beatles had their 3 Anthology sets, The Rolling Stones released multiple collections, and now you can have the newly rereleased Scoop albums, full of fascinating material by Pete Townshend. I'm only sorry we can't hear more.

If 'Scoop' was soda pop, then this is fine wine!, Aug 2 2004
By Anyechka - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Another Scoop (Audio CD)
Like 'Scoop,' I also found this record on the $2 vinyl wall at the vintage music store in my college town. It's a shame they're both out of print now. Most of the songs on the first installment are peppy and upbeat, the musical equivalent of soda pop, but the songs on here are by and large more mature, lush, orchestrated, polished, like fine wine. Though on here, the Who demos are closer together instead of being separated by more songs, as was the case on 'Scoop.' Again you can hear the difference between the demos and what they became under Roger's vocal interpretation. Thanks to the version on this album, I received a whole new appreciation of "Don't Let Go the Coat," a song I had formerly not thought highly of. The lyrics here are a bit different from the Who version on FD, but now, lyrical differences or not, I like both versions and no longer want to skip either. There are also three songs (more like musical pieces though) here that had originally been intended for the scrapped Who album 'Siege,' which would have been released in about 1983, after IH--"Cat Snatch," "Ask Yourself," and "Prelude: The Right to Write." It was based on the idea that each of us is a soul in siege.Side four is my fave, but there are great songs all throughout. My faves are "Brooklyn Kids," "Football Fugue," "Never Ask Me" (it should have been included on WAY!), "Girl in a Suitcase," "Begin the Beguine" (which I only found out rather recently was originally done by Cole Porter), "Prelude #556," "Baroque Ippanese," "Praying the Game," "Prelude: The Right to Write," "The Ferryman" (done in a theatrical production of Hesse's novel 'Siddhartha'; Vasudeva is the name of the Ferryman), and "The Shout." There are a number of beautiful instrumental pieces on here, evoking such an unexplainable mood and feeling, the likes of which can't be conjured up by a song with words. Sometimes words just get in the way, and pure unadultered music does what can't be done by mere words.

The Archive Of A Genius, April 14 2002
By Sven B. Schreiber "rawol.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Another Scoop (Audio CD)
Of course you know that Pete Townshend is the guitarist and main songwriter of the british rock legend "The Who" - creator of evergreen epics such as "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia". However, this man who has probably faced more ups and downs in life than most other fellow musicians of the 60s, is much more than this. He's a musical genius, perfectionist, and workaholic, dedicating most of his life to the creation of new music. He caught the zeigeist of the 60s and 70s with high reliability, which were certainly his most famous years. However, he also began exploring new directions in songwriting with increasing dedication throughout the decades. The "Scoop" album series documents this search and progression in a nice way. It's a collection of individual demos of known songs, intermixed with lots of unpublished works from the vaults. It's clearly the latter that make these "rarities" albums most appealing. However, don't you ignore the demos! They show that "Big T." is not only a good songwriter, but also a great singer and multi-instrumentalist. He might not have a good voice from a classical point of view, but he sings honestly, with all of his heart and soul - much like Peter Hammill of Van der Graaf Generator. There are only a few rock musicians on earth that I would call "honest". Pete Townshend is on my top-three list (along with Peter Hammill and Joe Jackson), and "Scoop" / "Another Scoop" are the best albums to explain why.
