Like "Scoop" released in 1983, "Another Scoop", followed four years later and continued to provide valued access to the Pete Townshend’s vaults, features a multitude of demos, outtakes and unreleased material, many of which are songs by The Who. Among the tracks included on this volume are ‘Pinball Wizard’, ‘Substitute’, ‘You Better You Bet’ and ‘Pictures of Lily’. „Another Scoop“ is still highly recommended for the serious Who/Townshend fan.

Like its predecessor, Another Scoop is a collection of 27 demos Pete Townshend recorded for the Who, and if anything, it surpasses the first volume in terms of quality. Another Scoop has a greater percentage of familiar Who classics – including "You Better You Bet," "Pinball Wizard," "Happy Jack," "Substitute," "Long Live Rock," "Pictures of Lily," and "The Kids Are Alright" – and the outtakes are uniformly excellent, ranging from his takes on "Driftin' Blues" and "Begin the Beguine" to neglected gems like "Girl in a Suitcase," "Holly Like Ivy," and "Ask Yourself," and even weird experiments like "Football Fugue." For any Townshend fan, Another Scoop is necessary listening, containing some of his best and most adventurous work.

The apparent idea behind this five-CD, 101-song bootleg was a sound one: to gather all of Pete Townshend's best solo demos from the Who's prime era (mid-'60s to late-'70s) in one place. As Who/Townshend fans know, his demos were usually very interesting, and while not as good as the full-on band versions done by the Who, they often boasted a personal, primitive, tenderness not present in the final product. But while there's much fine, and some great, music on here (and certainly there are a lot of great songs), this really isn't the major event it might have been. First, and most importantly, a lot of this stuff actually came out on the very-above-board Scoop and Another Scoop compilations, often with better sound.

On this third collection of Pete Townshend rarities and demos, the Who guitarist/mastermind offers up another compelling set of curiosities that draws from both his solo career and his tenure with his legendary band. In addition to pensive, minimal takes on Who tunes such as "Sea & Sand" and "Eminence Front" (the latter sounding almost nothing like its popular synth-laden counterpart), Townshend presents previously unreleased tracks such as the majestic rock tune "Commonwealth Boys" and the delicate piano-only instrumental "Poem Disturbed." While the compilation is mainly geared toward Townshend's diehard fans, Who aficionados will have much to admire as well, making the anthology a welcome addition to his well-compiled SCOOP series.
