Catalogue information
Anyway Anyhow, Anywhere released May 1965 in England. In the Netherlands in the release list of Polydor Netherlands on June 11, 1965. magazine Warm Sounds Freddy Haayen tells the story of his attempts, as the youngest employee at Polydor, to get The Who for Polydor Netherlands in early 1965. He succeeded and his star has risen considerably since then. He even served as Vice President Polydor International and Director WEA America for a number of years. Often unfairly criticized but clearly a man with vision and still involved in The Who and Led Zeppelin catalogues. Due to his actions (English import was apparently not yet possible) the first singles were imported / released here on the German label Brunswick and thus the first Who singles on the market. Polydor's second release in June “Anyway, Anywhere, Anyhow” even became a (you) hit in July 1965 at No. 28. With that, the first two Who singles were also regularly released here. Only in November / December 1965 did the real breakthrough come with “My generation”. Finally here's a nice photo cover scan of the German Brunswick 12 296 that was released here. Less rare than the first "I can't explain" but still around 100 to 200 euros.
