Tommy's story goes like this: His father dissapears before he is born, and his mother falls in love with another man.
Tommy's real father returns and murders the lover. Tommy witnesses this act and becomes blind to the world.
Tommy has
a mystical experience and becomes a pinball wizard. Finally, Tommy is cured of his blindness when a mirror is smashed and
then gains a huge following. At the end he unsuccessfuly operates a pinball camp.
Tommy became a movie and a very
successful musical as well.

The only reason to buy this album is for the alternate deep vocal version for the song 'Eyesight to the blind'.
There was an album called Tommy Part Two as well, but that contained only the rest of the regular 'tommy' tracks.

Produced by the Late Lou Reizner, Tommy was performed totally by the london symhpony orchestra and chambre choir. There
were many guest soloists which include Sandy Denny as the nurse, Steve Winwood as the father, Mary Claton as the Acid Queen,
Rod Stewart as the pinball wizard, Richard Harris (Dumbledore in Harry Potter) as the doctor, and Ringo Starr as Uncle Ernie.
Of course, the Who performed as well with Pete Townshend as the narrator, John Entwistle as Cousin Kevin and Roger Daltrey
as Tommy.
This record was a huge hit and came in a huge slipcase box with a booklet and a cardbord pinball machine to house the
records.

Tommy the movie was directed by Kent Russel during the year of 1974.
The movie and soundtrack included such actors and vocalists as Keith Moon as Uncle Ernie, Roger Daltrey as Tommy, Elton
John as the pinball wizard, Eric Clapton as the preacher, Jack Nicholson as the doctor, Tina Turner as the acid Queen and
Pete Townshend as the narrator. The Who performed most of the songs as well.
If you're wondering, Pete Townshend DID compose all of the 'extra' songs in the track list. Interestingly enough, Kenny
Jones (80's Who drummer) played drums on most of the tracks. Simon Townshend (pete's brother) was a newsboy as well.
