Tommy, The Who's defining, breakthrough concept album was originally released in May 1969 and has now sold over 20 million copies as well as regularly turning up in lists of the most influential albums of all time.
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 full 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, Ottawa, 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.
The Super Deluxe box also features a 5.1 mix featuring the complete album remixed in surround sound on new Hi Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray format
As well as the music the limited edition Super Deluxe boxset comes with a hardback 80-page full-colour book featuring rare period photos, memorabilia, a 20,000-word essay by legendary Who aficionado Richard Barnes and a rare facsimile Tommy poster housed in a hard-back deluxe slip-case.
