The Who divulga a inédita “The Girls I Could Have Had” – ouça

No dia 18 de novembro, será lançada uma edição remasterizada super deluxe do álbum My Generation, de 1965, que marca a estreia do The Who.

Além de contar com diversos formatos, o lançamento inclui três músicas inéditas: “The Girls I Could Have Had”, “As Children We Grew” e “My Own Love”. As faixas foram registradas como demos em 1965 pelo guitarrista Pete Townshend em seu apartamento em Londres, onde ele também escreveu a canção “My Generation”.

A respeito de “The Girls I Could Have Had”, Townshend declarou:

É sobre a minha falta de sucesso com as meninas quando eu morava em Chesham Place – em parte porque eu passava todo o tempo no meu estúdio. Roger Daltrey se dava muito bem com as garotas, não teria funcionado com ele cantando. A letra é fantástica! Soa como se eu estivesse sendo rejeitado pelas garotas todos os dias. Na vida real, provavelmente isso quase nunca acontecia. Minha gravadora de fitas era minha amante.
