The Who / Maximum As & Bs: The Complete Singles – 5CD box set
Having issued the four seven-inch vinyl single boxes during 2015/6, Universal Music now effectively present all those A and B sides (and EP tracks) on CD with a new The Who box set: Maximum As & Bs: The Complete Singles.
This five-disc, 86-track collection from the Brunswick, Reaction, Track and Polydor labels of course includes all and every hit, along with all the B-sides, many on CD for the first time.
The CDs come in separate wallets, and are housed in the familiar lift-off-lid style box that Universal use regularly (see the just announced Jam box). It also comes with a 48-page booklet, with track-by-track annotation by “acclaimed Who writers” and the usual selection of period photos and images of memorabilia.
Maximum As & Bs: The Complete Singles will be issued on 27 October 2017
