The Who "Tommy"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Track Record, Europe, 2013, 3715749, 602537157495, Half-Speed Remastered, 180g Vinyl, 2xLP, Tri-Fold Sleeve, 12 Page Booklet insert

The Who’s Tommy, released on 23 May 1969, is widely celebrated as the first commercially successful "rock opera". While it propelled the band to international superstardom, its critical standing today is a mix of reverence for its historical significance and occasional criticism for its narrative execution. Critics largely agree that Tommy was a watershed moment that expanded the boundaries of rock music by introducing a feature-length narrative structure. The album is praised for Pete Townshend's intricate acoustic and electric guitar work, John Entwistle's brass arrangements, and Keith Moon's signature "chaotic yet controlled" drumming.

The first pressing of the Who's 1969 rock opera Tommy was released on the Track Record label in an elaborate 6-panel front-laminated tri-fold sleeve with limited edition machine-numbered lyric booklet.
