The Who reissue By Numbers with 92 unreleased tracks
The Who's seventh album By Numbers is being reissued in a set that includes 92 previously unreleased tracks and mixes, along with remastered footage of the band's December 1975 concert in Pontiac, Michigan.
The Who's seventh album By Numbers was released in the middle of the band's brown flares and Brandy Alexander era. Pete Townshend wrote the album during a prolonged period of alcoholic self-loathing.
The reissue is offered as a three-LP, two-CD and limited-edition five-CD/one-Blu-ray set. The set includes 92 previously unreleased tracks and mixes in total, and new Atmos, 5.1 and stereo mixes were overseen by Townshend himself.
The reissue includes remastered closed-circuit video footage of the band's December 1975 concert at the Metropolitan Stadium in Pontiac, Michigan. At the time, the Pontiac concert set a world record for the largest ever indoor rock show attendance. Keith Moon's final tour with the band is captured in the footage.
The set includes 11 demos from Townshend's archive. It also includes the most complete audio version yet of the band's concert at Swansea's Vetch Field football stadium.
