The Who Hits 50 / new compilation

As part of The Who‘s 50th anniversary celebrations (which include a 2014 British Tour) a new compilation will be issued later this year.

The appropriately titled The Who Hits 50 will contain two CDs with tracks from across the band’s career. There will be a single CD edition as well, but at the moment no sign of a 50-track version for 50 years (which is what The Rolling Stones did with GRRR!).

This collection is a likely candidate for release on the Pure Audio blu-ray audio format, but there is no confirmation of that at the time of writing. What this space for further news.

The Who Hits 50 will be released on 27 October 2014.

*Update 2/11/14: 2LP coming early next year. No confirmation of blu-ray audio as yet.
