Who -- Quick One LP 60th anniversary edition colored

A Quick One was originally released on December 9, 1966. It reached #4 in the U.K. Unlike other albums by The Who, where guitarist Pete Townshend was the primary or sole songwriter, A Quick One features significant songwriting contributions from all band members. The album ends with a musical suite titled "A Quick One, While He's Away", which served as an inspiration for later rock operas the band was involved with, such as Tommy and Quadrophenia.
