Hooligans is a double compilation album of The Who released by MCA Records in 1981. It focuses on Who songs from the 1970s with only the titles " I Can't Explain", " I Can See for Miles" and " Pinball Wizard" from the 1960s. The album reached #52 on the US charts. [2]
It is most notable as the first US album to include three hard to find Who singles. The 1971 UK single " Let's See Action" was not released in the US, [3] and for this album the title was changed to "(Nothing Is Everything) Let's See Action". Two other singles, " Join Together" and "Relay", were released both in the UK and US in 1972. US releases of "Relay" were re-titled "The Relay". [4] The version of the song on this album was edited by use of a fade that occurs about 25 seconds early.
The album title and cover design are by Richard Evans [5]
All tracks written by Pete Townshend except where noted.
