Tentatively scheduled for the end of March. Not yet pre-orderable at Amazon, but will be soon. The box will encompass 112 total tracks including previously unreleased outtakes and demos, and comes packaged with some era-appropriate Who froof, possibly a replica tour programme, concert poster and so on. (Fingers crossed that the fifth disc in the box will be a Blu-ray with hi-res surround mixes. Rumoured but Universal isn't confirming anything.)

It would be nice if they actually stopped doing albums they've already done and did Who By Numbers, Who Are You, Face Dances, etc. but this could be interesting.

Expanded sets for Who By Numbers up through It's Hard would be outstanding, if somewhat taxing on my wallet.

I know many hated it, but I like Who's Last.... probably because that was when I started to really get into them. I was late in that regard. Anyway, Who's Last left a lot to be desired sonically, but I enjoyed it anyway. So, they should do a remix if possible.

Agree about the missing deluxe sets of Who By Numbers, Who Are You and Face Dances but The Who Sell Out has always been a favorite and can be considered one of The Who’s under rated albums. It does include their first big anthem hit “I Can See For Miles” which was a change from the pop hits they had made and showed the future of the band with Tommy, Who’s Next and Quadrophenia.
My first Who album was Who By Numbers so that remains my favorite and I would love a super deluxe.

They were all unfortunate misunderstandings
The rumour now is that this will be out at the end of April instead of March.
A retail listing for the set accidentally appeared recently (and was swiftly pulled) as the original projected release date was this month (it seems that no-one at said retailer had got the appropriate memo about the pushback).
There was a product image but no definitive track details. There was this, however:
Disc 1 – Original Mono Mix, Mono As & Bs And Unreleased Mono Mixes Disc 2 – Original Stereo Mix And Stereo Bonus Tracks Disc 3 – Studio Out-Takes, ‘Fly-On-The-Wall’ Versions Of Early Takes Of Songs From The Album Sessions, ‘Studio Chat’ Etc. – Previously Unreleased Disc 4 – ‘The Road To Tommy’ Will Contain Stereo Mixes Of The Studio Tracks Recorded In 1968 – Some Previously Unreleased – Plus 1968 As And Bs Mono Mixes (All Tracks Remixed From Original 4 And 8-Track Session Tapes In The Who Vault) Disc 5 – 14 Of Pete Townshend’s Original Demos – Previously Unreleased & Exclusive To This Set… 2 Bonus 7” Discs 80-Page, Hardback Full-Colour Book

We have pre-order links up in the first post, but they're not active yet -- should be available by tomorrow. The box is scheduled for release on April 23rd.

April makes more sense.
