The Who My Generation box set revealed

The Who’s My Generation box set will launch on November 18.

The album originally released in 1965 will be reissued as a 79-track, five disc super-deluxe edition. A 3-LP edition will also be issued on February 10 next year. The package is described as “terse, confrontational and full of youthful angst and energy, which has lost none of it’s raw visceral power and still stands as the ultimate musical declaration of teenage rebellion.”

The set contains previously unreleased songs The Girls I Could Have Had, As Children We Grew and My Own Love. Also included are unreleased alternate mixes, new remasters, an 80-page book with rare and unseen photos, replica flyers and posters.

Another notable feature is that the stereo remix was created using new overdubs from Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. For this mix, the exact same amps and guitars which can be heard on the original record were used.

Townshend says: “Gathering these demos for this collection has been enjoyable. It’s wonderful for me to have these tapes made 52 years ago to listen to.

“I hope you enjoy them. They have a naivety and innocence, a simplicity and directness, and an ingenuousness that reveals me as a young man struggling to keep up with the more mature and developed men around me. What an incredible group of strong, talented, young and engaging men they were.”

The My Generation box set can be pre-ordered on Amazon and iTunes.
