The Guess Who

Now and Not Then

Genre: Not the Guess Who

2 out of 5

Here’s what I know about The Guess Who: They were not The Who. Nor were they playing on the name The Who. Putting “The” in front of “Guess Who” is a stroke of old people brilliance. 

“Mertha, do you wanna watch The Friends?”

Perfection.

This is a band that is using the name The Guess Who to try to move some units. But this recording is all we’ve got and it’s a terrible transfer and it’s in mono when it shouldn’t be so I’m knocking points off for that and for trying to capitalize on Burton Cummings’ success. 

This transfer’s a mess. The album skips and bounces and, ugh it’s just awful.
