Who - Old England, New England (CD) (UK Import)

English rock band formed in Shepherd's Bush, London, England, in 1964.

Known for their involvement in the 1960s British mod movement, the smashing of their instruments, their development of the rock opera genre, the integration of synthesizers and the development of the "Marshall Stack" amplifier design. They set the Guinness world record on May 31, 1976, for loudest concert, at 126 decibels. Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990 (Performer).

Formed in March 1959 as The Detours by Roger Daltrey. John Entwistle joined in September 1961 and Pete Townshend in February 1962. In February 1964 they changed their name to "The Who" but after Keith Moon replaced previous drummers Doug Sandom and Dave Golding their then-current manager Peter Meaden renamed the band The High Numbers in April 1964.

In November 1964, the name was changed back to "The Who." Keith Moon died following the release of Who Are You. He was replaced by Kenney Jones. Rabbit Bundrick joined shortly afterwards. The band broke up in 1983 but reunited in July 1985 for Live Aid and various one-off occasions until releasing a new album in 2006. In 2025 they undertook another North American farewell tour.
