The Who – Who Are You (Vinyl LP, 1978, MCA Records MCA-3050, Monarch Pressing, Sterling Lacquer)

Why This Record Matters
Who Are You is The Who’s eighth studio album and the final studio album released during drummer Keith Moon’s lifetime. Produced by Glyn Johns and Jon Astley, the record combines the band’s established hard-rock sound with synthesizers and more elaborate arrangements on tracks including “Sister Disco,” “Music Must Change,” and “Trick of the Light.” The closing title track, “Who Are You,” became one of the band’s best-known later-period recordings.
