5.0 out of 5 stars A closer look at a musical genius, April 30 2001
This review is from: Scoop (Audio CD)
Knowing only the classic rock radio staples of the Who and the All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes album by Pete Townshend (hey it was the early, heady days of MTV), I first received this album on double vinyl as a 13-year old back in 1983 and it opened me up to a whole new side of the Who and Pete Townshend that I didn't realize existed.

From the opening "So Sad about Us" (perhaps the Who's catchiest pop song) to "Love Reign O'er Me" sung by Pete rather than Roger, Scoop packs some powerful demos that stand well on their own, or as a necessary footnote to the Who's long & storied career. Pete includes some great liner notes so you can follow along on how he developed his recording studio and his songwriting talents from the 1960s through the 1980s.

Since I wore out the vinyl version of this a while ago, I recommend you get the CD and start searching for the out-of-print sequel, Another Scoop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even In Early Stages, Pete's Songs Still Rule, Aug 3 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Scoop (Audio CD)
What can I say? Pete is the man! This album shows him doing it all: Playing so many instruments, writing and singing all those songs. Even in their skeletal states, songs like "Behind Blue Eyes," "Circles," "Melancholia," and "Magic Bus" still don't fail to impress. His piano work on the untitled Quadrophenia song is brilliant, his acoustic version of "So Sad About Us" is heartwarming, "Goin' Fishin'" sounds like the Beach Boys circa-Pet Sounds, and Pete's version of "Love, Reign O'er Me" is just as strong as the original.

4.0 out of 5 stars For Townshend fans only., July 27 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Scoop (Audio CD)
I can't really expand on what's been said already. This CD is interesting because it lets you hear different versions of songs done by the Who (especially if you're bored with hearing those versions) and some tracks that never made onto Who records. Shows Townshend's versatility and infuences.
