I still cannot understand for the life of me why they made “Drowned” the last tune on CD #1 of the 2-CD deluxe edition resissue of the album. 11. The Kids Are Aright Rolling Stone. I live in hope! Pete Townshend once explained that kids in England had tinny-sounding phonographs. Three CDs include a stereo remaster of the album, demos and live material.
