NotesDigitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition. The Guess Who's most successful album begins with the one-two punch of the title track and "No Time", the first single from the album. The original album sustained a chart run that lasted for more than a year, produced three hit singles and sent the band's career to new heights. Curiously following the successes came such turmoil that after an aborted attempt at the next album founding member Randy Bachman found himself on the outside of the band looking in. This expanded edition of the album features single edits, unreleased tracks from the album sessions and different takes on album tracks as well as material that was attempted but not released. The second disc is comprised of the tracks that were meant to be released as the follow-up album. Though these tracks, with Randy, were never completely finished they were released by RCA in 1976 as an album called The Way They Were. Once Randy departed the band decided to start the recording process over completely with new members Kurt Winter and Greg Leskiw and produced the highly successful Share The Land album. The in-depth essay by co-producer Ralph Chapman documents the sometimes confusing events surrounding the wonderful music created during the turbulence of the band's situation. This release is remastered from the original tapes by Vic Anesini and has never sounded better.

  • Guess Who's Classic Album...Plus

    The good folks at Iconoclassic have proven themselves to be a Guess Who fan's best friend once again. Here's the classic American Woman album, plus some additional tracks, plus the songs planned for the follow up LP that never happened after Bachman was kicked out of the band. Those tracks were released a few year later as The Way They Were LP. All those extras are of interest only to hardcore fans of the band. So, if that's you, this is an essential release you'll be happy to pay for. Casual fans can stick with the single disc option.

  • Nice set!

    Nicely remastered recordings. It would have been nice to get the alternate mixes from The Way They Were album to help round out the second disc, but otherwise this is a great collection. This is the Guess Who at their peak with Randy Bachman, and certainly one of the top three Guess Who albums ever.
