The Who - My Generation (5 CD Super Deluxe Edition, 2016/FLAC)

 
In the half century since its release The Who’s debut album My Generation has lost none of it’s raw visceral power and still stands as the ultimate musical declaration of teenage rebellion. The title track alone has been covered innumerable times by the likes of Oasis, Green Day, Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden amongst many more.

During a break in touring in 2015 Pete Townshend discovered tapes in his audio archive featuring previously unheard demos for the album which also included three totally unreleased songs that the other members of The Who hadn’t ever even heard, ‘The Girls I Could Have Had’, ‘As Children We Grew’ and ‘My Own Love’.

The spectacular 79-track five disc Super Deluxe Edition of My Generation features these unheard songs as well as unreleased demos, unreleased alternate mixes, new remasters and a stereo remix which was created using new overdubs from Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. For this mix Pete used exactly the same guitars and amps as the original album and Roger used the same type of microphone.


  • Roger Daltrey - lead vocals, harmonica
  • Pete Townshend - six and twelve-string acoustic and electric guitars, backing vocals, lead vocals on "A Legal Matter"
  • John Entwistle - bass guitar, backing vocals
  • Keith Moon - drums, percussion, backing vocals on "Instant Party Mixture"

Additional musicians

  • Perry Ford - piano on "I Can't Explain"
  • Nicky Hopkins - piano (except on "I Can't Explain")
  • The Ivy League - backing vocals on "I Can't Explain" and "Bald Headed Woman"
  • Jimmy Page - lead guitar on "Bald Headed Woman", rhythm guitar on "I Can't Explain"
