Non ci sono cifre tonde da festeggiare, ma il prossimo 31 ottobre gli Who pubblicheranno una ristampa del loro "Who are you", il loro ottavo album, originariamente spedito nei negozi nel 1978 e tra i vari formati previsti c'è anche un'edizione super deluxe che rappresenta una sorta di El Dorado per i fan della band capitanata da Roger Daltrey e Pete Townshend. Già, perché questa edizione del cofanetto conterrà oltre 70 brani inediti, per la precisione 71, incluse versioni inedite della title track "Who are you", brani live remixati tratti dal loro primo tour senza il batterista originale Keith Moon e registrazioni della band durante le prove dell’album nel 1978 e 1979.
L'album sarà pubblicato anche in un cofanetto deluxe di 4LP, un'edizione deluxe di 2CD e due edizioni limitate in vinile, una colorata e una half speed.
Di seguito le tracklist dei vari dischi presenti nel cofanetto:
