The Who Announce Who Are You Super Deluxe Edition For October 2025 Release Featuring 71 Previously Unreleased Tracks, Shares Unheard Version Of “New Song”

The Who are opening up their archives for new Who Are You Super Deluxe Edition, out October 31. The set delves into one of the band’s most important records, featuring 71 previously unreleased recordings spread across a limited 7-CD/1-Blu-ray box, as well as vinyl and digital formats. Fans will get demos, alternate mixes, studio rehearsals and live cuts from the band’s 1979 U.S. tour, the first with Kenney Jones on drums after Keith Moon’s passing.

The first taste is an early take on “New Song,” with Pete Townshend singing a rough guide vocal. Mixed by Steven Wilson, it’s looser and more vulnerable than the finished version, capturing The Who in the middle of building a track rather than polishing it for radio. Townshend later admitted the song was his way of needling FM programmers, “This was my signal to everyone that I had decided to deal a wonky deck full of theatrical parodies and anachronisms.”

Originally released in 1978, Who Are You was a huge success, climbing to No. 2 in the U.S. and cementing the band’s late-’70s legacy. But it’s also remembered as Moon’s last album, giving the record a bittersweet edge that still lingers today.

This expanded edition doesn’t just revisit the hits, it shines a light on the process, the false starts and the raw energy behind a band navigating both creative ambition and personal upheaval. It’s not just reissue, it’s a time capsule of The Who at a crossroads.
