Won’t Get Fooled Again
Won't Get Fooled Again is an EP from the English rock band the Who, released in 1988 on Polydor and issued only in the United Kingdom. It arrived in the gap between the band's studio albums It's Hard, from 1982, and Endless Wire, which followed in 2006. That makes it a small, UK-only curiosity from a quieter stretch in their story.
