Review
Like its predecessor, Another Scoop is a collection of 27 demos Pete Townshend recorded for the Who, and if anything, it surpasses the first volume in terms of quality. Another Scoop has a greater percentage of familiar Who classics -- including "You Better You Bet," "Pinball Wizard," "Happy Jack," "Substitute," "Long Live Rock," "Pictures of Lily," and "The Kids Are Alright" -- and the outtakes are uniformly excellent, ranging from his takes on "Driftin' Blues" and "Begin the Beguine" to neglected gems like "Girl in a Suitcase," "Holly Like Ivy," and "Ask Yourself," and even weird experiments like "Football Fugue." For any Townshend fan, Another Scoop is necessary listening, containing some of his best and most adventurous work. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi| Another Saturday Night: Classic Recordings from the Louisiana Bayous (1990 Album by Various Artists) | |

Another Scoop is a compilation album by Pete Townshend, and essentially a sequel to Scoop.
History
Like Scoop released in 1983, Another Scoop features a multitude of demos, outtakes and unreleased material, many of which are Who songs. It was followed by Scoop 3 in 2001, the third and last Scoop collection. All three albums were 2-disc sets, and in 2002 a pared-down compilation of them all was released as Scooped. Remastered versions of the original albums were released in 2006.
The album is dedicated to the memory of Cliff Townshend.
