Description
Tommy by the Who Up for sale is the original UK pressing of The Who's iconic rock opera double album titled "Tommy”, Catalogue Number 613 013/4. This the first UK Track pressing with the trifold sleeve from 1969. Both records have the A/1 and B/1 matrices. It comes with the 12-page colour picture booklet and the original innersleeves are also included.
What is also interesting about this pressing is the fact that side 1 and 4 AND side 2 and 3 are combined, just like Jimi Hendrix' Electric ladyland (also a double album on the very same Track label).
CONDITION: The laminated triple fold out cover is in EX condition and the records are in NEAR MINT condition.
AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger: The full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy that launched the band to international superstardom, written almost entirely by Pete Townshend. Hailed as a breakthrough upon its release, its critical standing has diminished somewhat in the ensuing decades because of the occasional pretensions of the concept and because of the insubstantial nature of some of the songs that functioned as little more than devices to advance the rather sketchy plot. Nonetheless, the double album has many excellent songs, including "I'm Free," "Pinball Wizard," "Sensation," "Christmas," "We're Not Gonna Take It," and the dramatic ten-minute instrumental "Underture." Though the album was slightly flawed, Townshend's ability to construct a lengthy conceptual narrative brought new possibilities to rock music. Despite the complexity of the project, he and the Who never lost sight of solid pop melodies, harmonies, and forceful instrumentation, imbuing the material with a suitably powerful grace.
