Summertime Blues (Live at Leeds) / Heaven and Hell (Studio version)

“What hits you when you listen to it is you realise how much you need to see the Who.” ~ Pete Townshend, 1970.

The Super-Deluxe 40th Anniversary Collectors’ Edition of this landmark of live albums. Back in 1970, live pop or rock albums tended to be primitive affairs when attempting to put on tape both band and audience. Live At Leeds was no exception, recorded on a mobile unit placed in the kitchen of the university refectory. But the results – crackling noises and all – were enough for pop culture writer Nik Cohn to describe Live At Leeds in his New York Times column as “the best live rock album ever made.” As recently as 2006, it topped a poll in Q magazine of the greatest live rock albums ever made – a testament to its enduring legacy.

Housed in a hard slipcase with cover artwork reproducing the original black stamped vinyl first UK pressing, this new edition contains:

• Two CDs containing the full Leeds show from 14 February 1970 recorded for the album including the complete performance of Tommy
• Two CDs containing The Who’s complete performance from Hull City Hall from 15 February 1970  including the complete performance of Tommy
• A heavyweight vinyl reproduction of the original six-track album as it was released in 1970
• A 64-page hard-back book containing rare photos, memorabilia from the original release (replica contracts, letters, poster gig list, photos etc.) and liner notes detailing the history of this landmark album
• A replica 7” single – ‘Summertime Blues’ / ‘Heaven & Hell’ with colour sleeve
• A classic Who poster

Remastered by Jon Astley and Miles Showell
