48 years of age LAMINATED TRIPLE-FOLD COVER ... DELUXE COPY OF THE WHO "TOMMY"

COMPLETE - INCLUDES THE LARGE COLOR MULTI-PAGES BOOKLET

THE SECOND "ROCK OPERA" EVER (Sorry Pete, The Pretty Things SF Sorrow was the first) ... a triple thick 1969 DOUBLE SET in deluxe triple fold out cover, WITH LYRICS PHOTO BOOKLET...and both original printed DECCA inner sleeves

Original 1969 of the legendary rock opera by Pete Townshend and the WHO ...44 years old and both records are very clean...(see details below song listings)

Tommy will remain as Pete Townshend’s and The Who’s grand musical statement. He had toyed with the rock opera concept on two of the group’s early albums but few were prepared for this incredible epic. It was all the more amazing because of how early it came in their career

Conceptually, Tommy is one of the most creative albums in rock history. Pete Townshend combined opera, a touch of classical and rock into a brilliant mix. Nearly four decades after its release, it remains one of the most respected and critically acclaimed albums of the rock era.

This is an album that needs to be played as a whole. Only a few of the songs work on their own when presented individually. The story can be a little obscure here and there but it holds together fairly well. It is dark in places as it contains death, abuse, torture, rejection and loneliness. And let’s not forget the deaf, dumb and blind boy who plays pinball.

The tracks that are my particular favorites are the opening “Overture” with its almost classical elements, “Go To The Mirror” which contains one of the best vocal performances of Roger Daltrey’s career, and the classic rock ‘n’ roll of “Pinball Wizard.” In fairness there are 24 songs and many deserve to be not only listened too but experienced and savored.

Very few groups and artists can say that they have established and popularized a new musical form. Through the rock opera Tommy, Pete Townshend and Who expanded the boundaries of the rock format. It remains a remarkable achievement and an essential listening experience for any fan of rock ‘n’ roll.
