THE WHO - Who's Next (Life House) - 50th Anniversary Deluxe Remastered Edition - 3LP - Gatefold 180g Black Vinyl [SEP 15]

3LP - 180g Black Vinyl. Deluxe remastered edition containing the original album plus vinyl replicas of Pete Townshend’s original Life House acetates, housed in a Gatefold jacket with printed sleeves containing Andy Neil’s detailed notes on the demos.

Following recent super deluxe editions and multi-format releases of classic Who albums – The Who Sell Out, My Generation, Tommy and Quadrophenia, we follow with Who’s Next – considered by many to be the band’s greatest album. The album was a ground-breaking musical achievement and raised the bar for other artists to follow and continues to inspire to this day.

At the start of a new decade The Who, and in particular their main song writer Pete Townshend, faced an unenviable dilemma. How do you follow up on an international sensation called Tommy?

The response was an ambitious, futuristic but prescient project named Life House.

The ideas contained in Life House predicted a dystopian world which seems all too familiar today. Themes of environmental change, all too powerful corporations and technology, such as the internet, which the public knew nothing of at the time.

UMR will release Who’s Next | Life House as a lavish, multi-format Super Deluxe edition on September 15.

This is the 3-LP deluxe remastered edition containing the original album plus vinyl replicas of Pete Townshend’s original Life House acetates, housed in a Gatefold jacket holding 3 x 180gm vinyl with printed sleeves containing Andy Neil’s detailed notes on the demos.
