The original The Story of The Who was a two-disc vinyl compilation released in the UK by Polydor (Select Double 2683 069) on September 24, 1976. It reached number 2 in the UK album chart.
The album was heavily promoted in the UK via TV advertising using this great commercial created by advertising agency McCann-Erickson featuring the exploding pinball machine as seen on the album cover and the distinct voice-over by the inimitable DJ, John Peel.
