Tommy, The Who’s 1969 rock-opera masterpiece, will be reissued in multiple versions on November 11th.
Besides a standard single-disc remastered edition, the album will also be released as a double-disc CD (with live and studio tracks), a two-LP vinyl version, and a “Super Deluxe” box set, which includes a poster and an 80-page hardcover book.
A press release notes that both editions feature “a wealth of previously unheard material,” boasting 20 Pete Townshend demos, a 1969 live performance of Tommy, and tracks recorded at the Capital Theatre in Ottawa, Canada on October 15th of that year. The box set also features a 5.1 surround sound remix of the original Tommy album on Hi Fidelity Pure Audio Blu-ray.
