Uncut Presents: The Who
"Hope I die before I get old!"
If Pete Townshend had stopped right there, followed his own advice and shuffled off his mortal coil after writing the classic 'My Generation', we would still be celebrating his genius today, nearly 40 years after Roger Daltrey stuttered those infamous words.
As it is, of course, he and his 'Orrible 'Oo continued through the next two decades creating more of the greatest rock 'n' roll ever unleashed upon a trembling world. 'Won't get Fooled Again', the amazing rock opera 'Tommy', the magnificent Mod saga 'Quadrophenia', the earth-shattering live performances at Woodstock, The Isle Of Wight and The Who Put The Boot In Tour... these are unsurpassable highlights from rock's rich history.
And now you can relive them all again, smoke bomb by smoke bomb, shattered guitar by splintered drumkit, in the pages of NME Originals: The Who.
Gathering together articles from the hallowed pages of the UK's two most infamous music weeklies, NME and Melody Maker, Originals reprints for the first time since they were first published, all the original news stories, live reports, record reviews and interviews just as they appeared on the newstands way back when.
Whether they were explaining Pop Art and Auto Destruction to a wide-eyed nation, battling it out with The Beatles and the Stones for the top of the charts, getting busted for inciting the kids to riot, or outraging parents the length and breadth of the land, NME and MM were there to cover all the glories and scandals that made The Who immortal..
Lovingly reproduced in one glossy magazine, NME Originals: The Who is the "must buy" magazine for all die-hard fans of Moon The Loon and lovers of rock music alike.
