The Royal Mint "Our Music Legends collection showcases iconic acts from the nation’s diverse musical past and present. It’s not often that a band will span generations, but The Who, with their explosive performances, have been a part of Britain’s soundtrack for more than 50 years. Together, groundbreaking lead guitarist Pete Townshend, microphone-twirling Roger Daltrey, John ‘The Ox’ Entwistle, and maverick drummer Keith Moon challenged genres, broke records and thrilled fans with their unique style. Artist Henry Gray has included some of the most iconic symbols from the band’s live and loud performances in his design. A Union flag, mod logo and speaker-smashing Rickenbacker guitar all feature in the form of a pinball table, which is a nod to Tommy, one of the band’s most famous creations." The Who Coin Range

August 18th, 1978 - 43 years ago today, the 'Who Are You' album is released. This was to be final album recorded by the original band line-up - three weeks after it's release, Keith Moon was dead Ironically, the album cover featured Mooney sitting on a chair containing the words 'Not To Be Taken Away'. Photographer Terry O'Neil had insisted he sat with the back of the chair facing the camera so as to hide his distended stomach, a result of his alcoholism It was the first album that featured a track that wasn't recorded by all four members of the band. Keith struggled with the complex 6/8 time signature on the song 'Music Must Change', so his drums were removed completely from the track, and replaced with the sound of footsteps and a few cymbal crashes
