Super Deluxe 5CD + Blu-ray Box Set
The Who By Numbers was the band's seventh studio album, released in October 1975 and produced by Glyn Johns, with a sleeve drawn by John Entwistle. It reached No. 7 in the UK and No. 8 on the Billboard 200, and "Squeeze Box" went top 10 in the UK, top 20 in the US and No. 1 in Canada. The original two-inch multitracks were located in 2020 in the Sunset Sound archive in Hollywood, where the album had been mixed.
This Super Deluxe edition rebuilds the album across five CDs and a Blu-ray, with 92 previously unreleased tracks and mixes. The remastered album is joined by eleven Pete Townshend demos, ten of them newly mixed by Townshend and eight previously unreleased; a disc of tracking sessions and outtakes from Ramport and Shepperton, including a jam with Nicky Hopkins; and a disc of early mixes and guide vocals, four new acoustic stripped mixes, and live tracks from Houston and Madison Square Garden. The fifth CD carries Who Put The Boot In, the Vetch Field, Swansea concert of 12 June 1976.
The Blu-ray holds Townshend's new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and 2026 stereo mixes of the album, plus the previously unreleased film of the band at Metropolitan Stadium, Pontiac, Michigan, on 6 December 1975, a show that drew 76,896 people and was shot on two-inch videotape for the in-venue screens. A 100-page hardback book with notes by Pete Townshend and Andy Neill, photographs and memorabilia sits with a gatefold disc holder in a 12-inch hardback slipcase.
