Top man !
You certainly know your Who..........

Margo is a big fan too and between us we have a more or less complete collection of their works - Margo their albums and me all their 7" vinyls. Some of them are very sought after by collectors - especially A Legal Matter (on Brunswick), the EP Ready Steady Who and the extended version of Substitute (on Reaction).
After 20 years of searching, I managed to get hold of a mint copy of Anyway Anyhow Anywhere last year.

Anyway the last two points are yours, so quiz closed thus :

Sounds good to me Tommo,

I have the kids Are Alright, album, Meaty beaty big and bouncy, Quadraphinia and who are you. Then various singles including if I still have it.. My Generation (on Brunswick)...
Tempted to get a ticket for the upcoming concert!

I agree, it's a shame to close this one so early, so first of all there's two Beefy bonus points courtesy of Margo who is able to ratify the information.
Whenever CSI is on, Margo is glued to the TV set and if I want to see anything else I have to go and watch it on TV in the kitchen.
