Who Are You, The Who's eighth studio album, will be released as an SDE exclusive standalone blu-ray audio, in October.

Released in August 1978, the album was a commercial success, peaking at No 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart, where only the soundtrack to the Grease prevented it from hitting the top spot in the USA. The record also reached No 6 in the UK album charts.

Who Are You was the band's final studio album to feature Keith Moon, who died just three weeks after it was released. The album showcased some of Pete Townshend's most complicated arrangements, with multiple layers of synthesizer and strings, including songs envisaged for his Townshend's never realised Lifehouse project.

The first single from the album, the eponymous Who Are You, was a transatlantic top 20 hit and has become over the years a staple in the band’s setlist and decades later gained new audiences when used at the theme tune to US TV's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

The SDE blu-ray offers Who Are You mixed in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound and as a new stereo mix, all by Steven Wilson. It also includes 7 bonus tracks.
