The Who – Who Are You

i got a beautiful copy of this original 1978 brazil pressing, the lp is rather thin and the sleeve very sturdy... very nice brazil, edition to my who collection.......

I've got STERLING 12 side 1 and STERLING 14 side 2

J'ai , I have, The Who – Who Are You Label: Polydor – 2490 147, press France, diferent au Verso! ( C 1978 .../en dessous : P 1978...en dessous: Distribution exclusive Polydor S.A., en dessous 2, rue Cavallotti, 75018 Paris ), n'ayant pas le carré noir à ce niveau comme sur lapochette de discog!

This is not their best album, but it's an enjoyable album. All the songs are interesting and solid songwriting.

i got this aussie pressing of who are you recently in great shape, it has a bit of a thin aussie sleeve, the catlog number is listed above, the lp itself sounds good but i cant confirm if this is an original 1978 aussie pressing or a reissue as the other aussie copies of this here on discogs seem to have the same cat # and matching rear sleeve......

both french who are you lps have the same catlog number, my copy of this is the one pictured above with the same black marking on the bottom left rear of the sleeve w/ the address in paris.......... good sounding french copy of this lp......

i am listening to a copy of this uk press right now, i bought this at TSS RECORD WORLD around 1979 and it had the usual GEM IMPORT sticker on the plastic wrapping of the sleeve, i was very young back then & this copy was 2 bucks more as it was an import, i asked one of the guys that used to walk those isles saying CAN I HELP YOU W/ SOMETHING why this was 2 dollers more then the other copies and he explained the import situation to me, he said since many more us pressings where printed in the us market that of coarse most all uk pressings where pressed in smaller numbers so this would sound better then a us press, anyway that sold me, i just pulled out my vg+ over 43 year year old copy of this and im glad when i was that young i knew to get a us copy to play to death as this always seemed to be on sale for 6 bucks in those days so i did not want to play my more expensive copy much, this sure has stood the test of time, the disc still sounds great and the sleeve has held up amazingly well as i always kept this in a record bag, my catlog # matches the one above and of coarse the disc & sleeve also have printed WHOD 5004, not sure but if this is not an original press it is very close as this was only out about 5 months when i bought this.... ps the number is only on the polydor sleeve disc not the sleeve.....

Resonant and sparkling but also dense and at times heavy. Different recording techniques tend to offer different sound stages, and if inherent in the original masters, I am in full support of unevenness.

A rather dull and pointless release compared to the made in Japan for USA edition, and not even close to the Mobile Fidelity UDCD 561 edition.

Compared to the Mobile Fidelity UDCD 561 edition this transfer lacks sparkle and resonance, but is much better than the manufactured in the USA for MCA edition.
