⸻

The Who’s Tommy remains one of the most iconic albums in rock history — a conceptual masterpiece and one of the first full-length rock operas. Written primarily by Pete Townshend, the album tells the story of a deaf, dumb and blind boy who becomes a messianic figure through his skill at pinball. The album blends classic rock, psychedelia, and orchestral themes, pushing the boundaries of what a rock album could be.

This 1972 UK reissue retains the full glory of the original, including the elaborate fold-out art poster that visually narrates the opera. It’s a standout collector’s copy that showcases The Who at their most ambitious and creative.
