"The Who – The Studio Albums" is an 11-album vinyl box set containing all of the band’s studio albums. Attractively presented with restored original artwork, immaculate sound remastered by longtime Who engineer John Astley, and pressed onto virgin heavyweight vinyl The Studio Albums is the ultimate must-have for any fan of one of the most legendary rock 'n' roll bands of all time.
From the savvy, street-smart "My Generation" of 1965, to the extraordinary 2006 career high of "Endless Wire", the box set takes in the band’s multi-faceted journey from the experimental psychedelic years of "The Who Sell Out", to the globe-dominating concepts of "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia" to the untouchable heights of masterpieces like "Who’s Next", and "Who Are You".
For this strictly limited edition release, great care has been taken to ensure the product looks as good as it sounds. The box itself is a hard, full-colour presentation with matt lamination and spott-gloss varnish, while artwork restorations include the "Tommy" sleeve with its original 6-panel fold-out and 12-page colour booklet, "Face Dances" with its 24” by 24” poster insert and "The Who Sell Out", with the same 20” by 30” poster as on the original 1967 pressings.
