The-Who-The-Polydor-Singles-768x768[UPDATE] This set was delayed from the originally announced date of May 5. Although the new date is not too far removed from the original projected date, it still bears notation for those that might be interested and have forgotten about its impending arrival.

Currently, there are three vinyl 45 RPM Boxset volumes in the market for The Who. Those are The Brunswick Singles, The Reaction Singles, and The Track Singles. All of these provide 7″ 45RPM vinyl singles of The Who releases. The next volume will be The Polydor Singles. The wait is over.

On June 17, Geffen Records will release The Polydor Singles Box with fifteen 7″ 45s to complete the four volume collection. This set completes the intended coverage of the labels that The Who have been affiliated with and the singles that were released. The Polydor singles cover the later years (see vinyl single coverage below). All discs are heavy-grade vinyl 45RPM replicated from their original UK release issues.

The Box will provide a 16-page booklet filled with copious information about each single release.
