The Who have announced that their 1978 album Who Are You is to be the beneficiary of a deluxe edition makeover.

The 7CD/1 Blu-ray set includes 71 unreleased tracks, the now-obligatory Atmos and stereo mixes by Steven Wilson, and a 100-page book containing sleeve notes by Matt Kent, who also authored the essay included in the super deluxe reissue of Who's Next/Life House in 2023.

The set includes the original, rejected Glyn Johns mix of Who Are You, several early run-throughs, session tracks, demos and outtakes, unreleased tracks from the 1977 Shepperton Studios rehearsals, drummer Kenny Jones' first rehearsals with the band, and a number of live tracks recorded on the Who's North American tour in 1979.

In addition to the super deluxe version of Who Are You, the album is being released on quadruple vinyl, half-speed mastered black vinyl, yellow vinyl and double CD, as well as via a bewildering array of bundle editions featuring t-shirts, tote bags and more. Released on October 31, it's available to pre-order now.
