The following is a discography of albums and singles released by the UK rock band The Who.
The Who have been with several labels over the years. In the UK and elsewhere outside North America, they were signed originally to Brunswick Records. In 1966,
they moved to Polydor Records[1] and took the rights to their Brunswick recordings with them. They created and moved to Track Records the following year[1] with
distribution by Polydor. They left Track in 1974 and returned to Polydor directly,[2] remaining with the label ever since.
In North America, they were originally on Decca Records. They moved to Atco Records for a short time in 1966[1] before returning to Decca later that year. In the
early 1970s, Decca was absorbed into MCA Records. The band changed North American labels again in 1981, to Warner Bros. Records.[3] The label released Face Dances
and It's Hard and their singles, before The Who disbanded. In later years, MCA would acquire the US rights to the WBR albums. In 2003, MCA Records (now under
common ownership with Polydor, under Universal Music Group) was folded into Geffen Records - which, ironically, was originally an independent label distributed
by WBR. Geffen now controls the US rights to The Who's catalogue up through It's Hard. Their 2006 comeback album, Endless Wire, was released through Universal
Republic in the US.

Note 2: The Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart did not exist until March 1981. Several album tracks from Face Dances and It's Hard entered the chart
between 1981 and 1982 but are not listed here as they were not issued as retail singles.
[edit]Other appearances
The Who contribute two tracks to Pete Townshend's solo album The Iron Man: A Musical, "Fire" and "Dig".
The last studio recording the band made before the release of Then and Now in 2004 was a 1991 cover of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting,"
performed for the album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin (and an associated film [1])
[edit]Rights to catalogue
The Who have been with several labels over the years. In the UK and elsewhere outside North America, they were signed originally to Brunswick Records. In
1966, they moved to Polydor Records[1] and took the rights to their Brunswick recordings with them. They created and moved to Track Records the following
year[1] with distribution by Polydor. They left Track in 1974 and returned to Polydor directly,[2] remaining with the label ever since.
In North America, they were originally on Decca Records. They moved to Atco Records for a short time in 1966[1] before returning to Decca later that year.
In the early 1970s, Decca was absorbed into MCA Records. The band changed North American labels again in 1981, to Warner Bros. Records, a sister label to
Atco.[29] The label released Face Dances and It's Hard and their singles, before The Who disbanded. In later years, MCA would acquire the US rights to
the WBR albums. In 2003, MCA Records (now under common ownership with Polydor, under Universal Music Group) was folded into Geffen Records - which,
ironically, was originally an independent label distributed by WBR. Geffen now controls the US rights to The Who's catalogue up through It's Hard. Their 2006
comeback album, Endless Wire, was released through Universal Republic in the US.
[edit]Filmography
[edit]Music Video
A music video for the song "You Better You Bet" was produced in black and white featuring the band and keyboardist John Bundrick playing onstage. It was the
fourth video played upon MTV's launch on August 1, 1981.
[edit]Video albums
The Who has also had other numerous concert videos and DVDs released, such as Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, Live in
Boston, The Who Rocks America, Tommy and Quadrophenia Live: With Special Guests, and Live at Kilburn 1977, among others.
[edit]Films
1975 Tommy
Ken Russell's camp treatment of the Rock opera, with Oliver Reed, Ann-Margret, Jack Nicholson, and an all-star cast of Rock musicians like Eric Clapton, Tina
Turner, and Elton John, along with The Who.
1979 Quadrophenia
A Franc Roddam film that expands on the sketchy story of the Rock opera. It tells of the coming of age of a young mod at the time of the Mods versus Rockers
riots of 1964. Sting plays a prancing phony along with a cast of unknowns. The Who's participation was limited to the soundtrack, which includes songs from
the Rock opera, new songs written for the soundtrack by Pete Townshend, and the original recordings of various Motown hits.
1979 The Kids Are Alright
A Jeff Stein documentary about The Who, including live performances, TV appearances, and interviews from all phases of their career up to that point, including their US debut on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
2008 Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who
A documentary produced by the band .[30]
[edit]Other film appearances
1967 Monterey Pop
The Who's stage-wide destruction competes with Jimi Hendrix's lighter fluid. For more information about the movie see its entry at The Internet Movie Database.
1968 The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus
Includes a for-the-occasion performance of "A Quick One While He's Away". Filmed in 1968, but not released until its direct-to-video release in 1996. Lore among Who fans holds that it was this performance that kept the film from being released, because The Who upstaged the Rolling Stones' performance with it. (A portion of this performance is also included on the
album The Kids Are Alright, described in the discography above.)
1969 Woodstock
The movie about the famous music festival. Includes excerpts from The Who's performance of Tommy.
Roger Daltrey also has an ongoing career in film and television, unrelated to his work with The Who. This career began with a star
