THE WHO - TOMMY (200g 2LP)

The Classic Who Rock-Opera, Tommy!

Now Re-Mastered on 200g Vinyl!

Considered the very first ‘rock opera’, this 1969 breakthrough recording from the genius of Pete Townshend was highly controversial upon its release. Originally banned by the BBC and by some U.S. radio stations, the underlying child abuse and molestation theme in the tale of the ‘deaf, dumb and blind’ Tommy Walker was a startling, darker side to the former mod-rockers from Shepherds Bush. Highlighted at the Woodstock festival and film, the album peaked at # 4 on the Billboard chart. Townshend proved to himself and the world he could still attempt such a libretto and still rock! It s pawned such Who staples as 'Pinball Wizard,' 'The Acid Queen,' 'I’m Free' and 'We’re Not Gonna’ Take It / See Me, Feel Me.' The movie, Broadway and concertized versions have kept its imaginative story and music in the forefront for the past three decades. Cut from the original two track quarter inch mater tapes provided by The Who on Classic's all tube stereo cutting system by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood. Pressed on Classic's 200g Super Vinyl Profile and packaged in authentic tri-fold laminated sleeve including original booklet. This is a masterpiece in every way and an absolute must for all rock fans!
