Released in October 1975, The Who By Numbers is The Who's seventh studio album. Eschewing the grand rock-opera concepts of Tommy and Quadrophenia, it functions as Pete Townshend's deeply confessional, stripped-down singer-songwriter record.The album deals heavily with mid-life crises, ageing, alcoholism and the pressures of fame. The Deluxe 2CD set pairs the original album newly remastered with a second disc of bonus material from the era, featuring a selection of demos, unreleased tracks, early mixes and live recordings. Presented in deluxe packaging and includes rare photographs and memorabilia from the period.
