Who Are You is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Who, released on 18 August 1978[1] by Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and on 21 August 1978 by MCA Records in the United States.[2] Although the album received mixed reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, peaking at number 2 on the US charts and number 6 on the UK charts.[3]
Who Are You was the Who's final studio album to feature Keith Moon as their drummer. He died three weeks after it was released. The ironic nature of the text "Not to Be Taken Away" that was stencilled on Moon's chair on the album cover was noted by some critics.[4]
