The Who (Again): 5:15 & Who Are You (UK single mixes)

Have these ever been released on CD? Do I need to do a needle drop to have them?

While I don't have a copy, isn't the UK single version the common ~5:00 version found on most comps? I.e., just the last verse edited out?

Who Are You?

Well I checked the US WBWB and the West German "Singles". They're both 5 minutes long but they both have the f-word in them. I'm assuming this isn't the single version?

I think somebody mentioned that it was on Collection (which I desperately need, hint hint), but I wanted to be sure.

What about 5:15?

The Who Collection has the same version as described...5 minutes long, and "fuck" uncencsored.

I think the UK single did have "fuck".

Unsure on 5:15. For some reason I'm thinking Ultimate Collection. The box set has a "single version", but I'm thinking that was the 1979 single (other than an edit, it seems to match the Quad soundtrack).

Also, The Who Collection and The Singles have the same mix of "5:15", which is (correct me if I am wrong) the 1979 single version, edited from the Quadrophenia soundtrack remix.

What mix is on "Who's Greatest Hits"? I have that CD, but haven't listened to it in years. What about Hooligans?

I have a Who Are You single on the way. I'll compare it to the CD's, but I could have sworn somebody mentioned that it had the word "heck" or something instead of "fuck".

The *US* single has "hell" instead of "fuck".

Okay. I guess that's the UK version is the one on all the CD's. I''ll check it out.

So I guess I have to needledrop 5:15 then?
