Le sessioni di Who Are You

Le sessioni iniziali dell'album si svolsero ai Ramport Studios, prodotti da Glyn Johns e Jon Astley. Tuttavia le registrazioni furono ricche tensioni creative ed ora The Who Are You Super Deluxe Edition racconta finalmente l'intera storia, presentando per la prima volta il mix originale dell'album realizzato da Glyn Johns, che all’epoca venne rifiutato. Questa edizione contiene una nuova versione rimasterizzata del mix pubblicato di Jon Astley e le session di prova ai Shepperton Studios, nonché una gran quantità di materiale inedito, tra cui demo, alternate takes e, nel caso della traccia "Sister Disco", un assolo di chitarra precedentemente "perduto", ritrovato nei nastri multitraccia di Steven Wilson.

Nel 1978, l'album fu visto come un ritorno alle origini per gli Who, e l'attesa per un tour di supporto all'album divenne alta; purtroppo l’improvvisa morte di Keith Moon mise fine ai piani. La band presentò il nuovo batterista Kenney Jones, ex membro dei Faces e degli Small Faces, nel maggio 1979, insieme al nuovo tastierista John' Rabbit' Bundrick. Uno dei tanti punti salienti dell'edizione super deluxe sono i nastri live remixati della tappa americana del tour del 1979, che catturano la nuova esplosiva formazione degli Who e tutti i brani dell'album che prendono vita sul palco con una rinnovata energia.

La band ha proseguito negli anni, con successo, il percorso intrapreso realizzando l'epico progetto cinematografico The Kids Are Alright, il film Quadrophenia e l'album Face Dances nel 1981.
