Not content with releasing the 7-inch vinyl box sets, The Who now has the Maximum As & Bs box set coming your way too.

This is a CD box set, with tracks over five discs and essentially all the A-sides, B-sides and EP tracks under one roof, kicking off with the High Numbers’ Zoot Suit / I’m The Face. 86 tracks in total from the Brunswick, Reaction, Track and Polydor labels including ‘rarely heard’ B-sides, many of which are on CD for the first time.

Five CDs, in separate wallets, housed in what’s described as a rigid, lift-off-lid style box that also includes a 48-page booklet, with track-by-track annotation by writers of The Who, period photos and memorabilia.

27th October 2017 is the release date but you can pre-order now, with the price at £42.78. Tracks listed below.
