Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Japanese-only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) pressing of this classic rock album. SHM-CDs can be played on any audio player and delivers unbelievably high-quality sound. You won't believe it's the same CD! Universal. 2008.
Amazon.com essential recording:
Tommy had the dubious distinction of being the first-ever rock opera; however, it's none the worse for that, Ken Russell's adaptation notwithstanding. Due largely to Pete Townshend's skill as a songwriter and composer, Tommy tells a coherent story and includes quality rock and roll at the same time, an impressive feat by itself. While surprisingly more linear than the later Quadrophenia, Tommy boasts several songs that stand up well on their own, including the classic "Pinball Wizard," "The Acid Queen," "I'm Free," and "Sally Simpson." Much of the rest doesn't make much sense lyrically unless you listen to the entire album, but you'll probably want to do that anyway, preferably with the lights low and the stereo cranked. --Genevieve Williams

Unbelievable concept album with one cover song that also kills, "Eyesight to the Blind". Great songwriting, musicianship and beautiful harmonies make this an "Amazing Journey", cover to cover. I remember wearing this out on vinyl, and waiting for a CD release. The final cut, "We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me/Listening to You" still give me the warm and fuzzies, and make me wish there was more material on this disk. Do not buy the movie soundtrack, other than for the balls out version of "I'm Free", ... Read More

Well Worth it. If you have a SACD player/5.1 channel system, you will LOVE this recording. AMAZING sound!! i am not reviewing the content ,per se, if you have ever heard Tommy, then you already like the album or not, for those who complain about 5.1 mixes, and how they differ from the original stereo LP, hey, if you see a group live, alot of times they dont play songs the same anyway, so if it seems too different from the original, chalk it up to artistic interpetation, the original artists probably approved ...

I won't address the music itself in this review since more than enough has already been said about this phenomenal album. My focus is on the 5.1 production of it. Suffice to say, if there is a single album out there that has properly taken advantage of 5.1 technology, it is The Who's Tommy. Pete Townshend produced this version himself and the results are clearly a labor of love. While many DVD Audio discs give you width by separating tracks, this version combines them in a way that gives the listener remarkable ... Read More

The Who's Pete Townshed at that time was mainly known by fans as a guitarist and not a songwriter since he did write nearly all of the lyrics too Who songs. This album would change all that. Tommy bassicly took what Sgt. Peppers had created by The Beatles and expanded it and made it so it followed a constant story line. Tommy is the story about a boy named Tommy who is deaf dumb and blind but in the end he is able too see and hear he just didnt realize it. The amazing thing about Tommy is the band never used a full ... Read More

I know most of the other reviews say this is a great album . well it is , however during this sacd version there are many drop outs not found on the dvd audio version . you can really here it on John's voice during the acid queen. also the dvd audio lets you enjoy this masterpiece without changing discs . get the dvd audio version for the best reproduction of this classic.
