In 1972, following the immense success of the original "Tommy", Lou Reizner decided to produce a full-blown orchestral version of the rock opera featuring the London Symphony Orchestra and an assemblage of wel-known rock stars. This 1972 recording substitutes the original's muscular rock rhythms with a classical backing and supplies the first glimpses of a Tommy with fully realized characterizations. Notably Rod Stewart's dynamic ''Pinball Wizard'' and Maggie Bell's roof-raising, vixenish stylings as Tommy's mother. In December 1972 members of the Who joined an all star cast for a live performance of Lou Reizner's "Tommy" at The Rainbow Theatre in London. The spectre of the deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard Tommy Walker was to dominate The Who's career before taking on a life of his own. After this all-star recorded extravaganza produced by Lou Reizner, there was a motion picture directed by the master of cinematic excess, Ken Russell in 1974. A C.D. became available in August 1990 on Essential with catalogue number ESSCD 029 (+ cassette ESSMC 029).
It was re-released on C.D. in June 1996, again on Essential with catalogue number ESMCD 404. Side 1
