WHO’S NEXT/LIFEHOUSE Box set coming in September 2023 (STEVEN WILSON DOLBY ATMOS & 5.1 MIXES CONFIRMED!!)

[sjcorne]

Great to hear they’re planning to include it in the box and not just on streaming platforms.

PETE TOWNSEND JUST CONFIRMED WHO’S NEXT IS BEING MIXED IN DOLBY ATMOS!!

I don't think the set will be in the reasonable $50 range, but my credit card is fully loaded and ready. It's great that they are trying to replicate the lost parts instead of just throwing their hands in the air and giving up.

 

[LennonCobain]

Super excited and hoping for a stellar Atmos mix! Just take my money already!

 

[stormchaser]

Welp, time to start putting some money aside....

 

[edisonbaggins]

My favorite album from The Who!

I can see this being at least $300 but I’m in at whatever price!!❤❤❤

That’s for both NEXT & LIFEHOUSE right?

If so is going to be a HUGE BOX SET…if done right

Both Tommy and Quadrophenia surround mixes are credited to Bob Pridden and Richard Whittaker, so if I had to guess, it would be them here as well, probably working directly with Pete's involvement. I have no actual information but I can't imagine them going outside of their usual team unless there was some sort of falling out or they were otherwise unavailable. Whoever does it, I really do hope they don't bury the rhythm section. I feel the Quadrophenia mix especially lacked the thunder that Entwistle and Moon brought. I really think Won't Get Fooled Again, with it synths and heavy drum break, has the potential to sound glorious in surround if done right.

Love this album. It all depends on how much crap they are going to make me take to get the one piece of cheese I want. If they package like the Beatles it's a no brainer, if Rush then there better be more meat.

My sentiments exactly...

 

[4-earredwonder]

Since it's probably the most iconic of all the WHO albums and one most often requested in surround I'm sure Pete will ensure it's TOP SHELF but wonder, if like Quadrophenia, it will be offered as a stand alone BD~A .....

If not, then so be it. I'm IN!

This tidbit about using a Lowrey organ for the opening of Baba is of extreme interest to me. Decades ago, I was messing around with this song on my Lowrey and found that I could duplicate that Baba intro to a degree beyond my wildest expectations. Now I know why!

"Townshend had the Lowrey organ and a synthesizer at hand, though it is the Lowrey alone heard on “Baba.” “So much of what people call ‘synthesizer’ in Who music is not,” Kehew states. “’Won’t Get Fooled Again’ is not really a synthesizer—it’s an organ, this Lowrey, being chopped up through a synthesizer, but it’s basically a stutter.”

Stutter? Surely he means the beginning of 'Baba O'Riley' then, not WGFA?


(oh, I see that's been noted)

 

[timbre4]

Holy grail stuff this one!

 

[madship]

Definitely on my buy it now list.

I think you'll all be very pleased with this one
