Odds & Sods
Odds & Sods is an album of studio outtakes by British rock band the Who. It was released by Track Records in the UK and Track/MCA in the US in October 1974. Ten of the recordings on the original eleven-song album were previously unreleased. The album reached No. 10 on the UK charts and No. 15 in the US.
The recordings were compiled by Who bassist John Entwistle. Two LPs of songs were considered in 1974, but only one LP was released at the time. "It could have been a double album, there was that much material," Entwistle said. It was one of the first examples of artists compiling such unreleased recordings. The Who, as well as many other artists, later released similar albums, such as "Who's Missing".
Примеры употребления для odds and sods
1. I do the weekly shop and Tesco painlessly yields up all the odds and sods I need in addition to groceries – a cheap fountain pen, batteries, a toilet brush, a washing–up bowl, an oven dish to replace the one I smashed tripping over a fleeing cat, and even a printer cartridge.
2. The other odds and sods were done days ago, in a single, 15–minute swoop: cranberry sauce (cranberries, sugar, spice, water, heat), bread sauce (bread, onion, cloves, milk, heat) and gravy (giblets, flour, wine, drippings, heat). And, best of all, once that lot is down and doing digestive battle with the preprandial sherry, our galley slave is blessed by the curious fact that Christmas pudding is the only foodstuff known to Man that is at its finest when zapped in a microwave.
