TAS Recommended! Rated a 'Best Audiophile Label Recording' in the November 2009 issue of The Absolute Sound!


Considered the very first ‘rock opera’, this 1969 breakthrough recording from  the genius of Pete Townshend was highly controversial upon its release.  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. Highlighted at the Woodstock festival and film, the album peaked  at # 4 on the Billboard chart. Townshend proved to himself and the world he  could still attempt such a 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. Ultimate movie, Broadway and concertized versions have kept its  imaginative story and music in the forefront for the past three decades. Cut  from the original two track quarter inch mater tapes provided by The Who on  Classic's all tube stereo cutting system by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman  Mastering in Hollywood. Pressed on Classic's 200g Super Vinyl Profile and  packaged in authentic tri-fold laminated sleeve including original booklet. This  is a masterpiece in every way and an absolute must for all rock fans!
