New box ?

[whoireland]

The Who Instagram page has a teaser ad that flashes up all the album covers with a “news coming soon” tag

Anyone any ideas what’s happening !?

Release date for the new album?

[whoireland]

True enough. I’d been thinking 50th Tommy or some full studio album box set but I suppose the new album is their big news for the year

[ronmanager]

It looks like it will be the event to reveal the cover art of the upcoming album:

The Who to Play Opening of Pace Gallery’s New Headquarters, Reveal New Album Cover by Peter Blake

Forbes: The Who Steal The Show At Audacious Opening Of Pace Gallery’s New Flagship

[ronmanager]

Since this fitting thread already existed...

According to a message from Jon Astley posted on Steve Hoffman forums, Sell Out box set of Sell Out will be out next year:

Sell Out is all done and delivered. The release is penned for early next year to coincide with a classic albums film that is being made at the moment. Who’s Next is early planning

Source: forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/the-who-another-super-deluxe-edition-is-in-the-works.777602/page-18#post-24810167

Also great to hear about a Classic Albums film - I've really enjoyed that series!

[ronmanager]

Regarding the Classic Albums film:

[Nnic]

Wow, that is awesome news! Can't wait!

[whoireland]

Presumably box release date will tie in with that timeline
The existing 2cd had so much , I wonder is there much left in the archives. A live show from the time would be nice
They may just do heavily available likes of Fillmore

[theawesomesound]

I hope if there's a Who Sell Out Super Deluxe Box Set that they go back to how they assembled the 1995 CD reissue CD and include some 1968 material as well as stuff from 1967. I also hope they include a good amount of Pete's demos like on the My Generation Super Deluxe Box Set. The I Can See For Miles and Real demos are out there on bootlegs but I'd welcome an official release of them. Whitefang's site has clips of demos of I Can't Reach You and Glittering Girl. The two disc deluxe Sell Out had the demo for Relax.

I look forward to the upcoming Sell Out documentary too. I hope it's as good as the Quadrophenia documentary because I thought that was excellent.

[Jeroen]

A vinyl release with the '95 CD tracklist would be awesome for me. The 2009 Deluxe was quite exhaustive, so it'll be interesting what they come up with. The book will be knockout design-wise I'm sure.

[bobdylan]

Not for me.


My least favorite Who album.


Although, I loved all the extra tracks the last time they made a super-deluxe-ultra-re-re-re-re-release of Sellout.



I guess I gotta wait 3-4 more years for the next super-duper album box to come out.

[ronmanager]

Seems like the Sell Out box set will contain 7 CDs and is out Feb 12:

That is exciting news! I wonder what will be on it! Hopefully some unheard tracks/liveshow!

[whoireland]

Monterey was a recent record store day vinyl release. Possible that a cd would be included here
Otherwise I think we’re looking at
Stereo
Mono
Demos1
Demos2
Possibly 5.1

Last 2 disks could be either vinyl or live

[whoireland]

Kicked back to April

[ronmanager]

[whoireland]

Two of the disks are 7”

This looks awesome, if it's not too pricey i'm really inclined to get this one. Curious about the tracklist!

I read a rumour somewhere that a documentary of "The Who Sell Out" was in production and that this release was going
to correlate with the release/airing of that one. Don't know if there's any truth to that but that would be cool.

Would make sense to release the two around the same time. Documentary is definitely in the works, I posted before in this thread Dougal Butler's Facebook update about being interviewed for it in last August.

[whoireland]

The doc is supposedly on sky arts in April ...

I think the price was 85£ on that site before it was taken down

[ronmanager]

Finnish record shop site listed it at 123,99€.

[ronmanager]

More tracks from Sell Out box released:

[ronmanager]

Again three tracks more released:

I Can See For Miles (Full Version):
The previously unreleased complete master featuring Pete’s count-in and guitar doodling on the intro and outro.

Facts Of Life (AKA Birds & Bees) (Backing Track New Remix):
When scouring The Who’s tape vault for this project, a backing track for ‘Facts Of Life’, a John Entwistle composition, was discovered.

Magic Bus (Take 6):
Several attempts were made to record this Bo Diddley-flavoured composition that Pete had written and demoed back in 1965. Take 6 starts with Keith playing claves, Pete on electric guitar and John on bass before Keith crashes in on drums. Roger and Pete provide guide vocals. This version was close to how the band performed the song on stage at the time.

[ronmanager]

Classic Albums documentary of The Who Sell Out will be livestreamed on April 22nd.
