The Who — My Generation

Analogue Productions' Ultra Tape reel-to-reel reissue!

Includes "My Generation," "The Kids Are Alright" and "The Ox"

Sourced from the original analog master tapes

The explosive debut from The Who still sounds like a shock to the system — and My Generation remains one of the most ferocious opening statements in rock history.

Originally released in 1965, My Generation peaked at No. 5 on the U.K. charts and instantly propelled the band toward worldwide acclaim. My Generation captured the raw energy of the mid-1960s British mod scene and introduced the band's classic lineup — Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. Its aggressive sound, feedback, and power-chord attack helped lay groundwork for hard rock and punk decades later.

Its notable tracks included the title song with its defiant "...hope I die before I get old" lyric and one of rock's earliest bass solos, by Entwistle. Also memorable, "The Kids Are Alright," one of Townshend's earliest great pop compositions, "A Legal Matter" and "Out in the Street." The instrumental showcase The Ox highlights Entwistle's thunderous bass playing and the band's explosive early interplay.

Now this landmark recording receives the audiophile treatment it deserves.  Our Analogue Productions Ultra Tape reel-to-reel album reissues are each a 15 ips, ¼-inch analog tape copy (IEC equalization) sourced from a copy of the original analog master tape. Transferred real-time, using an ATR-modified Ampex Tape Machine with flux magnetic heads. Custom slipcase cover. The music's full detail and impact emerge, letting Moon's manic drumming, Townshend's slashing chords, and Entwistle's pioneering bass lines leap from the speakers with startling immediacy.

For collectors and serious listeners alike, this Analogue Productions Ultra Tape reel-to-reel reissue brings the raw electricity of the sessions vividly to life. From the opening blast to the final groove, My Generation remains a thrilling document of a band about to change rock 'n' roll forever!
