Released in October 1975, The Who By Numbers is The Who’s seventh studio album, moving away from the grand concepts of Tommy and Quadrophenia for a more confessional, stripped-back approach from Pete Townshend. The album explores ageing, mid-life crisis, alcoholism and the pressures of fame.
3LP: The original album, newly remastered and expanded with Who Put The Boot In, a classic live performance recorded at Swansea’s Vetch Field in 1976. Includes a booklet with rare photographs and memorabilia.
2CD: The newly remastered original album plus a second disc of demos, unreleased tracks, early mixes and live recordings, presented in deluxe packaging with rare photographs and memorabilia.
5CD/Blu-ray: The definitive edition, featuring the remastered album, 11 Pete Townshend demos, rare studio sessions, out-takes, early mixes and Who Put The Boot In live recordings. The Blu-ray includes Townshend’s Dolby Atmos mix, high-resolution audio and video footage of The Who live at Metropolitan Stadium, Pontiac, Michigan. Also includes a 100-page hardback book with sleeve notes, rare photographs, memorabilia and archive material.
