There’s a lot of resistance going on there in fandom land concerning the upcoming ‘best of’ for The Who, The Who Hit Fifty!. And while another ‘best of’ featuring The Who might feel excessive, who can resist the arrival of the title in BD-Audio?! Huh?! Expect the Who Hit Fifty! on Blu-ray Audio on December 9.
“who can resist the arrival of the title in BD-Audio”
I couldn’t. After the initial announcement that another Who compilation was being released I had the same reaction,,,”yeah, great, another Who compilation. That’s what we need.”
Then they made the Blu-ray announcement. Needless to say it’s already been pre-ordered.
