The Who – The Who By Numbers (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1975 | NM-/VG+ | Copy 2)

The Who – The Who By Numbers was released in 1975 and is one of the band's most personal albums, written by Pete Townshend in a period of self-doubt. Stepping away from the grand rock operas Tommy and Quadrophenia, it is raw and honest, produced by Glyn Johns with Nicky Hopkins on piano. Highlights include Squeeze Box and Slip Kid and However Much I Booze; the cover was drawn by John Entwistle.

On offer is the original 1975 German pressing on Polydor (2480 309).
