Tommy, The Who’s defining, breakthrough concept album – a full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind boy that launched the band to international superstardom reissued in multi format editions.

This new Deluxe and Super Deluxe version of the album comes with a wealth of previously unheard material in the form of 20 demos from Pete Townshend’s archive and also a live performance of Tommy from 1969 taken from tapes that infamously Townshend asked the band’s sound engineer to burn!

18 of the previously unheard and thought to be long lost live tracks are taken from a live show at the Capital Theatre, Ottowa, Canada on October the 15th 1969. Three others, I’m Free, Tommy’s Holiday Camp and We’re Not Gonna Take It were lost due to tape reels being changed during the show so are taken from later shows of the same era

As discussed at length in Pete Townshend’s autobiography the tapes were all supposed to be destroyed but were kept by long time Who sound man Bob Pridden despite Pete’s instructions.

Super-Deluxe box set:

  • Disc 1 – The original album (2013 re-master) Digitally re-mastered in HD

  • Disc 2 – The demos and out-takes. Features 20 previously unreleased tracks from Pete Townshend’s archive.

  • Disc 3 – The 5.1 album mix - Hi Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray
    The complete album remixed in surround sound on new Hi Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray format

  • Disc 4 – The live ‘bootleg’ album. Features 21 previously-unreleased tracks from 1969

  • Hardback 80-page full- colour book featuring rare & unseen period photos, Pete’s hand-written lyrics & notes and fascinating memorabilia.

  • 22,000- word essay by legendary Who aficionado Richard Barnes

  • Facsimile 20” x 30” Tommy concert poster

  • Limited edition, housed in a hard-back deluxe slip-case

      Die Quintessenz der WHO. Townshend at his best - einer der Gipfel des Schaffens der WHO. Daltrey, die perfekte Personifikation von Tommy, Townshend das Gitarrengenie, ein zerstörerischer Moon und der zynischste Entwistle. Die Platte eröffnet Zeitgeist und Lifestyle in einzigartiger Kombination und das Ganze mit einem Schuss Spirituellem versehen. 1A.

      Dass es dieses Doppelalbum auf einer CD zu diesem Preis gibt ist Wahnsinn. Es gibt kaum eine andere Platte, auf der alle Songs so zusammengehören und eine Geschichte erzählen. Wirklich eine Oper!
