A Quick One is most memorable for the wildly creative psychedelic Boris the Spider and perhaps more importantly A Quick One While He's Gone laying down the future framework to the band's hallmark achievement Tommy. The closer is a nine minute track comprising six movements lyrically involving a relationship gone astray and ultimately reconciled. This sophomore release provides another stepping stone towards classic Who bombastic signature sound for the incredibly run of albums (The Who Sell Out, Tommy, Who's Next, Quadrophenia) to follow shortly thereafter.

Boris the Spider is an excellent song, and the remainder of the album is pretty good.

Not a great album by any means, actually quite `orrible for a `oo album. A few factors I took into consideration: 1. They weren't quite experienced in the studio 2. Townshend hadn't full developed as a songwriter 3. They weren't given enough time in the studio to flesh out their ideas. Even with all of those in consideration, I must say apart from Boris the Spider, So Sad About Us, and the incredibly wacky Cobwebs and Strange, this album kinda stinks. The original studio version of A Quick One, is very badly recorded and edited together poorly. The "Live at Leeds" and Rock N' Roll Circus versions are lightyears ahead of this one. This album is really for completists only as no essential material is represented on this disc.
