> LONG LIVE ROCK! MCA TO RELEASE THE WHO'S BBC SESSIONS
> MCA RECORDS - 11/16/1999 at 12:23:04
> Universal City, California, November 15, 1999 - MCA Records is set to
> release The Who: The BBC Sessions, a newly-compiled, 25-track collection
> of live BBC Radio broadcast performances by the pioneering British rock
> band. Spanning the years 1965 through 1973, the album's never before
> released tracks are culled from performances the band gave on such classic
> BBC shows as "Top Gear," "Saturday Club," "The Old Grey Whistle Test," and
> "The David Lee Travis Show," capturing the Who's early days in all their
> ultra-high-voltage glory. Produced and assembled by Jon Astley, in
> cooperation with Who founding members Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and
> John Entwistle, The Who: The BBC Sessions is set to arrive in stores
> February 15, 2000, marking the 30th Anniversary of the group's seminal
> concert album Live At Leeds.
> Some of the most in-demand yet previously unreleased Who recordings are
> the group's BBC performances spanning the band's formative years, when
> Townshend and company established themselves as one of rock's truly great
> live acts. The Who's Live At Leeds (1970) is often cited as one of the
> greatest live albums of all time. As reported by Ice Magazine, "The BBC
> Sessions presents The Who as a young, energetic pop-music band that
> crafted some of the Sixties' most memorable rock music... it serves as a
> perfect companion piece to Live At Leeds in documenting the career of a
> band that many consider to be the best live act ever."
> Tracks included on The Who: The BBC Sessions are: "My Generation/Radio One
> Jingle," "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," "Good Lovin'," "Just You And Me,
> Darling," "Leaving Here," "My Generation," "The Good's Gone," "La La La
> Lies," "Substitute," "Dancing In The Street," "Disguises," "I'm A Boy,"
> "Run Run Run," "Boris The Spider," "Happy Jack," "See My Way," "Pictures
> Of Lily," "A Quick One," "Substitute (Version Two)," "The Seeker," "I'm
> Free," "Shakin' All Over," "The Relay," "Long Live Rock," and "Boris The
> Spider/Radio One Jingle." The package also includes insightful liner notes
> by Andy Neill, and track-by-track recording details.
> The Who launched their brilliant career in London in 1964. Their debut
> 1965 Decca Records release, The Who Sings My Generation, along with the
> group's 'smashing' performance on the television program "Ready, Steady,
> Go" sent their single "I Can't Explain" to #8 on the British charts and
> set the stage for The Who's induction into the rock world's elite.
> Over the course of the next ten years, lead vocalist Roger Daltrey,
> guitarist and vocalist Pete Townshend, bassist and vocalist John
> Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon evolved into one of the greatest bands
> in rock history, thanks to their mesmerizing, guitar-smashing stage
> performances, and their instantly classic recordings. The 1969 release of
> the pioneering rock opera Tommy proved a watershed event for the band,
> with history judging the piece a timeless work of art. Who's Next, from
> 1971, is often cited as one of the premier rock albums of all time, as is
> 1970's Live At Leeds. The Who's second rock opera, Quadrophenia (1973) is
> similarly regarded as a modern masterpiece.
> The death of Keith Moon in 1978 ended what had been one of the most
> consistent line-ups in rock history, but the band persevered, releasing
> two new studio albums, Face Dances and It's Hard in 1981 and 1982,
> respectively. Since the band's 1982 breakup, several reunion performances
> have been staged, including a set at Live Aid in 1985 and a 25th
> Anniversary tour of the U.S. in 1989. The Who was inducted into the Rock &
> Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990. In 1994, to mark the group's 30th Anniversary,
> a box set anthology and companion concert video were released, both titled
> The Who: Thirty Years of Maximum R&B. MCA Records, in close conjunction
> with Pete Townshend, has concluded its extensive remastering campaign for
> the original Who catalog, a dedicated salute to the band culminating in
> the release of The Who: The BBC Sessions.
> Long Live Rock! The founding members of The Who have again come together
> for a series of charity concerts this fall, and are currently at work
> writing songs for their first new studio album since 1982, which is
> expected to be released in 2000. Pete Townshend's Lighthouse rock opera is
> due to be released in early 2000 as a limited edition 6-CD box set.
> Universal Music Group is a unit of The Seagram Company Ltd., a global
