Great news. Now I can stop micro editing my DMP 5.1 mix of the title song over, and over, and over, and…It’s coming! New immersive mix, by Steven Wilson.

Fascinating interview with Paul.
And we are getting another Who release in Atmos....sometimes I have to pinch myself with all that is going on in this hobby of ours...it's just fantastic.

I take great exception to releasing a new Who Are You in surround before we get Who By Numbers. 
I like The Who By Numbers more, but Who Are You has got that mega title song made even more famous by CSI. So yes, now that you’ve wrapped up Who Are You, get to work on The Who By Numbers…please Mr. Wilson.I take great exception to releasing a new Who Are You in surround before we get Who By Numbers.
With Rod Argent on the keys
That I did not know!
Yeah, forgot the CSI tie-in. My wife is addicted to the re-runs in all it's permutations.

Rod Argent plays Synth on "Had Enough" & keyboards (piano/synth) on "Who Are You" along with Pete Townshend
Argent was brought in to play keys after the band's touring keyboardist, John Bundrick, broke his arm getting out of a taxi at the recording studio.
I always loved the video for the title track (as seen in The Kids Are Alright movie). The band's humor and camaraderie are on full display. Even Entwistle cracks the occasional smile.
I would guess that it will come in a box. However, I doubt that they would put out a mega-box like they did with Who's Next. Who Are You simply isn't as highly regarded. Also, as Moon passed away just weeks after the album's release, the band did not tour to promote the album so there wouldn't be any live material to pad out a box set. There also isn't the amount of extraneous non-LP singles from the era like there was with Who's Next. So, while a Who Are You reissue might contain some additional material like Pete's demos, I don't think that there's enough relevant material to make for a box the size of Who's Next.
At last...
This news made me actually listen to this full album today for the first time. Some decent songs on it but definitely not a Who classic (apart from the title track, of course). I’m sure Steven’s surround mix will breathe new life into the songs, and I will pick it up for the right price.
I think there's some great overlooked material on it, "905" and "Trick of the Light" in particular.
Pete said he got hate mail for putting "Love is Coming Down" on a Who album, but I really love that one. "Music Must Change" was never a highlight of the album for me, but when they went on the road without Moon for the first time the following year it was a show stopper. They'd really stretch out on it.
It is unusual in that I don't feel that the album holds up all that well as a complete work, but each song taken unto itself is really quite good.

Do we know that Who By Numbers hasn't already been mixed in surround and is just waiting to be released? I thought I remember a rumor about that somewhere recently but might be mistaken.I take great exception to releasing a new Who Are You in surround before we get Who By Numbers.
