Billboard 200 - #8, 1982 UK Albums Chart - #11, 1982 Billboard Hot 100 - #28, 1982 - Athena "... their most vital and coherent album since Who's Next ..." - Rolling Stone It's Hard, The Who's last original release to feature bassist John Entwistle, was released in 1982 to coincide with what was billed as The Who’s farewell tour of North America. The single Athena broke into the top 30 in the US while Eminence Front remained a staple in The Who's live shows for years after its release. It's Hard would turn out to be the band's final studio album until 2006. This reissue includes four live bonus tracks recorded in Toronto in 1982.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
