Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who
Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who is a compilation gathering the songs featured in the documentary of the same name. It came out on 1 April 2008 on Geffen, and was sold only through Best Buy stores in the United States.
It sits alongside the band's studio run, which stretches from My Generation in 1965 to Endless Wire in 2006, and it works as a soundtrack companion to the film's telling of the band's story. For anyone who has watched the documentary and wants to hear its music again, this is the rock-minded keepsake that matches it.
