From the A Quick One liner notes by Chris Charleworth with additions by Brian Cady:
Recorded at IBC Studios July 31-Aug. 1, 1966.
Released on the Ready Steady Who! EP, the kick-off track for the EP.
It was, with "I'm A Boy," the first Who track produced by Kit Lambert. Paul Clay engineered.
Following it on that side of the EP was the Pete Townshend-produced version of "Circles" that had been previously released as the B-side of the first copies of the U.K. "Substitute" single.
This is the mono version of "Disguises." The longer stereo version can be found on the box set.
I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my friends
I picked the wrong girl again
Don't see you in the crowd anymore
I think it's you but I can't be sure
You're wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises
I don't think you want me to see you ever again
And today I saw you dressed as a flower bed
Last week you had a wig on your head
Directing traffic in the street
And your shoes were too big for your feet
You were wearing disguises
Occasionally a girl surprises me
When she turns out to be you
Wearing disguises
[repeat first verse]
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
Wearing disguises
