World's First CD Issue of The Who's Debut Album, Also in Box Set on SHM-CD 
with Cardboard Sleeves

There have been ongoing Who reissues in recent years, and now fans will see 
another release! Following on the Deluxe Edition, and the reissue in its 
Japanese version with the "Girl's Sleeve," their debut album My Generation 
is being released for the world's first time on CD in its original UK mono 
version.

The remastering was done under the sole supervision of Jon Astley, working 
from the best analogue masters in the band's possession. This marks the 
first CD appearance of the mono version of "I'm a Man," and of course the 
unedited mono version of "The Kids Are Alright" is also included. 
Contemporary singles and studio outtakes, including "Daddy Rolling Stone" in 
its first mono CD issue, have been added as bonus tracks. The CD (UICY-6988; 
1,980 yen) is scheduled for release in Japan on 25 June.

The same day sees the scheduled release of a Japan-only box set, the My 
Generation Box (UICY-93533/4; 10,000 yen). Besides the mono mix, it also 
contains the stereo mix of My Generation, along with related singles and 
outtakes, on two audiophile-quality SHM-CDs. These discs too are mastered by 
Jon Astley.

The box set will include seven cardboard sleeves reproducing unique cover 
art from Japan and various European countries at the time of the album's 
first release. About 20 contemporary single and EP sleeves from many nations 
will also be reproduced on paper sleeves, sized proportionately to the 
replica LP covers. The box is a serial-numbered limited edition. This set 
will go down in history as a masterpiece of compilation, and you should 
definitely get it if you love the Who!
