Artist:	Who, The
Title:	Who's Next
Label:	MCA
Catalog Nº:	US: MCAD-37217 / Canada: MCABD-37217
Format:	CD
Year:	1986
Mastering:	Mastered by Steve Hoffman
Notes:	Uncredited. There have been several cd masterings of Who's Next on MCA, all with the same catalog number. The original 1984 mastering by SH was uncredited. Steve mastered a version of Who's Next for MCA in the mid-'80s. The catalog number was MCAD-37217. Chances are if you have a "Manufactured In Japan" pressing it is Steve's. However, MCA switched masters along the way, and at least some, if not all (it is unclear) "Manufactured In The USA" issues are NOT mastered by Steve. Luckily, MCA in Canada has started using Steve's master for their CD. The catalog number is MCABD-37217 and it can be found at www.HMV.com. At least some BMG music club copies also use Steve's master. If you are unsure what version you have, look at the total time. If it is around 43:25 (plus or minus a second or two) you should have Steve's version. If it is around 43:13, it is NOT Steve's. Also, keep in mind Steve's master is NOT used on any of the following versions: Germany Polydor, MCA gold, MCA/Polydor remix/remaster with bonus tracks, MFSL gold with bonus tracks.
