This week in 1971, the Who LP “Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #23 (December 18)

This Who compilation LP was put together by Pete Townshend, and apart from “Boris the Spider", every track on the album had been released as a single in the UK.

In fact, all except "A Legal Matter", "Magic Bus", and "The Seeker" were Top 10 hits there.

It also features favourites like “I Can See For Miles”, “Pictures of Lily”, “Pinball Wizard”, “My Generation”, “I Can’t Explain”, “Substitute”, and “The Kids are Alright”.

The curious name of the album comes from the band members themselves; Roger Daltrey got “Meaty” because of his muscular physique, naturally Keith Moon got “Beaty” as the manic drummer, “The Ox” Entwistle got “Big”, because….well, he was, and “Bouncy” was the ever bouncing around on stage Pete Townshend.

On the charts “Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy” went to #9 in the UK, #11 in the US, and #27 in Australia.

In 1987, Rolling Stone ranked the album #99 on their list of the 100 best albums of the period 1967–1987.
