Description
Released in October 1975, The Who By Numbers is The Who's seventh studio album. Eschewing the grand rock-opera concepts of Tommy and Quadrophenia, it functions as Pete Townshend's deeply confessional, stripped-down singer-songwriter record.

The album deals heavily with mid-life crises, ageing, alcoholism and the pressures of fame.

3LP - This deluxe 3LP set features 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. Presented on heavyweight vinyl and includes a booklet featuring rare photographs and memorabilia from the era.

2CD - The Deluxe 2CD set pairs the original album newly remastered with a second disc of bonus material from the era, featuring a selection of demos, unreleased tracks, early mixes and live recordings. Presented in deluxe packaging and includes rare photographs and memorabilia from the period.

5CD/Bluray - The definitive edition of The Who By Numbers. This extensive collection features the original album newly remastered, alongside 11 Pete Townshend demos – 10 newly mixed by Pete, including eight previously unreleased from The Who By Numbers era – plus rare studio sessions, out-takes and early mixes. It also features recordings from the Who Put The Boot In concert at Swansea's Vetch Field in 1976. The accompanying Blu-ray features Pete Townshend's Dolby Atmos mix, high-resolution audio versions of the album, and video footage of The Who live at Metropolitan Stadium, Pontiac, Michigan.
