For this edition of this veritable rock classic, the tape transfers have been made from the recently discovered original studio master tapes, transferred direct and without any additional E'Q by renowned mastering engineer Simon Heyworth. This combination of the 1st generation master tapes, improved technology for the playback/transfer of analogue tapes & high bit rate digital encoding of the music provides an edition that sounds as close as it is possible to get on a standard CD to the sound the musicians heard and approved at the time of the album's completion. This album, originally released in 1969, stands as one of the defining albums of British rock music & one of the finest debut albums of all time; described by Pete Townshend as an 'uncanny masterpiece.'
