As previously reported, Universal Music Enterprises is releasing another reissue of The Who’s Live at Leeds, now more super-deluxe than ever for the LP’s 40th anniversary. Now, from our friends at VVN Music, the full track lists have been unveiled for the previously unreleased Hull show.

Live at Leeds: 40th Anniversary Edition will feature the full show recorded on Valentine’s Day 1970 at Leeds University (previously released in full for the first time in 2001) as well as the next night’s show in the city of Kingston upon Hull, considered to be a superior performance but thought to be unusable due to technical problems. (The problems were corrected in a rather unorthodox way for this release: John Entwhistle’s bass parts for the corresponding songs from the Leeds show have been grafted onto the early, problematic tracks from the beginning of the Hull recording.)

The set will also include bonus vinyl editions of the original, six-track edition of the Live at Leeds album and a corresponding single. The set is due in the U.K. on November 15 with a U.S. release date to follow. The full track list is below for your viewing pleasure.
