"Tommy" By The Who Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Set And Deluxe Edition
Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ UMe) 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 - is to be released in Deluxe and limited edition Super Deluxe editions November 12.

Originally released in May 1969, The Who were at a career crossroads. They were known mainly as a singles band but this project launched them as a serious "album band" and has now sold over 20 million copies as well as regularly turning up in lists of the most influential albums of all time.

Coming after The Who Sell Out in 1967, Tommy marked a complete change in style with Pete Townshend's lengthy conceptual narrative bringing exciting new opportunities to rock music. Tommy was and remains an ambitious, complex and controversial work.

This new Deluxe and Super Deluxe remastered 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 full, live performance of "Tommy" from 1969 taken from tapes that infamously Townshend asked the band's sound engineer to burn!

Eighteen of the previously unheard and thought to be long lost live tracks are taken from a live show at the Capital Theatre in Ottowa, Canada, on October 15, 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 they 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 longtime Who sound man Bob Pridden, despite Pete's instructions.

The limited edition Super Deluxe box features a 5.1 mix featuring the complete album remixed in surround sound on new Hi-Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray format. The box set also comes with a hardback 80-page full-color book featuring rare period photos, memorabilia, a 20,000-word essay by legendary Who aficionado Richard Barnes and a rare facsimile "Tommy" poster, all housed in a hardback deluxe slipcase.
