Who's Greatest Hits is a 1983 greatest hits compilation album from the Who released in the US.[4] It includes the rare track "Relay", presented here in its original full length. An earlier appearance on Hooligans has shortened it by almost 30 seconds. The vinyl LP also includes the original single version of "Won't Get Fooled Again." On the CD it's the full-length album version. Who's Greatest Hits has sold over 2 million copies and was certified 2× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
