A friend where I work needed a favor. She had an idea for a presentation that required the old Who song “Who Are You” — but it couldn’t have the swear words in it.
I was in the radio business when the song came out, and there was a short, cleaned-up single version. Not having the single handy, I made one of my own. Although the question should be asked, who am I to touch a Who song?

On the audio player is my edit, followed by the original. This was transferred from the vinyl LP I bought the week that the album was released in 1978. I don’t think the album is all that great, actually, so I never bought the CD.
Can you tell where the four edits are? The deletion at 4:38 was the trickiest. It’s at 5:34 in the unedited cut.
