Instant Party Mixture (Pete Townshend) TRO-Devon Music, Inc. (BMI)

From the My Generation liner notes by Brian Cady:

Recorded January 12, 1966 at IBC Studios, London.

A previously unreleased track on My Generation: Deluxe Edition originally intended as the b-side of The Who's planned but unreleased follow-up single to "My Generation," "Circles." Until its 2002 release this song was known only in bootleg copies of Pete's demo version known as "Party & Lies" or "Partyin' Pete." It has no connection with the two renamed recordings of "Circles" released as "Instant Party."

It's 'cause me pockets are full of Sausage 'n' Mash! shoop-shoop shoop-sha-wadda-wadda shoop-shoop-shoop shoop-shoop-sha-wadda-wadda
