The Who joins fellow Brit legends The Beatles and The Rolling Stones as the band celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
As part of the celebrations, the band is reaching out to fans and collectors around the world to help them complete their archives.
The High Numbers At The Railway Hotel shown here is one such example. This rare film from 1964 was found in a loft in the Netherlands and is a priceless snapshot of the band in their formative years.

The band is looking for rare radio and TV performances, home movies from gigs, extraordinary bootleg material, demos, unusual photos and memorabilia for its 50th anniversary releases.
If you think it’s rare, they want to see it.
Any item that is used will be fully credited on any release and the person with the most outstanding find will receive two VIP tickets for a show on the next Who tour, which kicks off in Glasgow on November 30.
