Power of Pussy really is pretty great, and there isn't likely to be anything remotely like it in the future.

Tarfumes what is yr opinion on the definitive Live At Leeds version?
― sleeve, Thursday, 6 October 2016 22:47 (seven years ago) link
That'd be the "deluxe edition" hi-res download currently up on hdtracks.com. It's free of later vocal overdubs (Entwistle in '94, Daltrey in '01), restores many of the edits, and has the best mastering.
That said, the bootleg Live at Leeds Complete is a close second, being completely unedited ("Magic Bus" is almost two minutes longer). But the drums are a tad too low in the mix on the boot for my taste.

xp it's my least favourite record of theirs, but it's nice to see Aereogramme get a nod on here. Sleep and Release was one of my favourite albums for a long time, and would probably make into a personal top ten depending on how nostalgic I'm feeling.
