Following such previous super deluxe album box sets as Who's Next, The Who Sell Out, My Generation, Tommy, and Quadrophenia, the band has announced that 1978's Who Are You will receive similarly lavish treatment. The band's eighth album, Who Are You was also its final studio LP to feature drummer Keith Moon. The centerpiece of the multi-format release is a 7CD/1Blu-ray set which will offer the following:
- CD1: The original 1978 album as newly remastered by Jon Astley at Close to the Edge;
- CD2: Glyn Johns' original, shelved mix of the album plus an all-new stereo mix by Steven Wilson;
- CD3: Early run-throughs, session takes, and outtakes, plus several demos by the late John Entwistle;
- CD4: Previously unreleased tracks from the 1977 Shepperton Studios rehearsals, including favorites ("Won't Get Fooled Again," "Baba O'Riley") and covers ("Spoonful/Smokestack Lightning," "Shakin' All Over"). Among the lost treasures are covers of The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There" and Fred Fassert's "Barbara Ann" (by way of one of Moon's favorite bands, The Beach Boys) as well as an embryonic live version of "Who Are You" recorded in Toronto, 1976;
- CD5: Six tracks from the live concert at Shepperton for the filming of The Kids Are Alright documentary, plus rehearsals with new drummer Kenney Jones for The Who's 1979 American tour;
- CDs 6-7: Live recordings from the 1979 American tour including performances from Michigan's Pontiac Silverdome, Philadelphia's Spectrum, and Detroit's Masonic Temple of Who classics and tracks from Who Are You such as "Sister Disco," "Who Are You," and Entwistle's "Trick of the Light;" and
- Blu-ray: Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, and PCM Stereo mixes of the original album by Steven Wilson.
