Description

Mastered by Kevin Gray

"Universal had Kevin Gray, not "A. Nonymous" cut lacquers and this was very well pressed at QRP. So I'm willing to cut Universal some packaging slack to get QRP quality pressings. ... The reissue was cut by Kevin Gray from 96/24 files ... vinyl cut from the same files was more sonically satisfying and by a wide margin. ... Sonically this is a very good vinyl reissue of Tommy. I'd have to be a knucklehead to write otherwise." — Music = 9/11; Sound = 9/11 — Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet.com

Originally banned by the BBC and by some U.S. radio stations, the underlying child abuse and molestation theme in the tale of the "deaf, dumb and blind" Tommy Walker was a startling, darker side to the former mod-rockers from Shepherds Bush. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard chart. Townshend proved to himself and the world he could still attempt such libretto and still rock. It spawned such Who staples as "Pinball Wizard," "The Acid Queen," "I'm Free" and "We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me, Feel Me."
