Is there anything wrong with the original vinyl issue in SQ?
Of course the problem would be to find one in NM condition I suppose.

The Who's rock opera "TOMMY" Has there ever been a notable "VINYL REISSUE" ??
The above title is my question: Has there ever been a notable that is, good VINYL reissue of THIS OUTSTANDING PIECE OF MUSIC. I have seen CD's of it, but just Red Book standard level, or even re-mastered versions, but not on vinyl.
Thank you,

This one. https://www.discogs.com/The-Who-Tommy/release/515683 It's a 1973 MCA reissue. It might be hiding in the bin of your local store? I have a 1969 US Decca, that sounds great, but spotty. I have this later reissue, and it sounds quite good. I bet there are a few R-R owners still enjoying their 1969 copy. I can imagine a "modern" reissue plagued by the usual stuff-punched up bass, overall "CD" tone. |
I had not even checked my copy but it is that one tablejockey. Sounds pretty good to my ears. I also have an excellent version by The London Symphony Orchestra from 1972. https://www.discogs.com/The-London-Symphony-Orchestra-Tommy/release/3340256 |
You’ve made me break out my bought-the-first-week-it-came-out domestic pressing. Yeah, it had a lot of use back in the day, but it doesn’t seem any worse for wear. A lot of multi-miking and no shortage of artificial reverb, but clarity galore and just enough treble edge to lend it a genuine rock record veracity. Spacious soundstaging. Only the thoroughly worn jacket tips off how old it is. Thanks for getting me to haul it out! |
