Today’s second entry in The 2025 PopCult Gift Guide is a must-have item for fans of The Who, and would make a great gift for any fan of classic rock from the 1970s.

The Who “Who Are You” Super Deluxe Boxset

First a quick note on today’s gift suggestion: You may have noticed that all this week our second entries for the day were music. You may have also noticed that, up until today they were all Beatles-related, featuring the music of John, Paul, George and Ringo, in that order. The logical pick for today would have been The Beatles new Anthology Four album.

However, I did not realize when I made my schedule for The Gift Guide that Anthology Four will not be released until a week from today. So I had to switch out that entry with the one I’d planned for next Friday, which is, luckily, rather a nifty replacement.

Who Are You is considered by many fans to be the last “real” Who album, and now you can explore all the nooks and crannies of its creation with this Limited Edition 7CD / 1 Blu-Ray Super Deluxe Boxset.

This extensive collection gives an unprecedented insight into how The Who made what was to be their final studio album with Keith Moon. The eight discs are housed in a 12” by 12” slipcase and include a newly re-mastered version of the original album, plus demos and out-takes from the Who Are You sessions as the band developed the songs.

This set also includes the 1977 Shepperton tour rehearsals, and the 1978 Shepperton studio recordings made for The Kids Are Alright movie.

Also part of this Super Deluxe package is a 100-page hardback book with extensive sleeve notes by Matt Kent covering the period before and after the album’s release, plus track-by-track details, and session notes, as well as sleeve notes by Steven Wilson on his remixes for Dolby Atmos. The book is lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished photographs, memorabilia, tape boxes and original print ads.

Who Are You is the first album by The Who that I bought back when I was transformed into a giant music nerd, and it’s always going to have a warm place in my heart. This presentation is a terrific artifact of that last Who album with their original line-up.

The Who Are You Super Deluxe Boxset is available from retailers who carry, or can order, boxed sets.
