Four more were from two tribute albums that Townshend had recorded for his guru Meher Baba. Two new song rounded out the nine song track list.

The new 45th anniversary Expanded Edition includes 2-CDs, one with the original album and a second with seventeen additional tracks including alternate versions, an instrumental version of “Baba O’Reilly”, two live tracks and three previously unreleased songs.
