Written by Pete Townshend
Recorded at IBC Studios, London, October 1966. This song was first recorded by a band called The Cat and produced by Pete, on the Reaction label. This stereo version of 'Run Run Run' was previously only available on Backtrack 3, a Track Records sampler, featuring The Who on Side One and Jimi Hendrix on Side Two.

!966 , 1966 what a year for soul music
-
Not only was this a great contribution to the output of that year but the overdriven overtones Pete got on this track predate Hendrix's debut album of May 67. Hard to believe but I bought both at the time and my memory would have sworn Jimi was first - but no. Such a great band and Pete is up there with the best writers.

@ruskybalboa Don't forget about The Rolling Stones' Aftermath, The Byrds' Fifth Dimension and The Kinks' Face to Face!

i want to run run run to get this album

Astonishing guitar playing from Townshend. It sounds easy enough but try playing it and getting it to chug as good as this. Fabulous feedback control at 1:39 too.

@wiraturboWKQ Hey, I like this song and if it is like The Hollies that is a compliment; I love both The Who and The Hollies. I think it is a great song with nice guitar licks and a nice early song of theirs.
