The Who To Release Tommy Super Deluxe Edition

We were excited to see new cover photo posted on The Who’s Facebook Page about three hours ago that clues us in on a forthcoming release. From the looks of the image (see below), The Who will soon release a “Super Deluxe Edition” of the 1969 concept album Tommy.

As per the image, the Super Deluxe Tommy will include the original studio album, a disc of unreleased demos and rarities, a complete disc of unreleased 1969 live recordings and extensive previously unseen memorabilia. The reissue will mark the first time the album has been released in 5.1 surround sound. Back in 2011 The Who put out a similar package for Quadrophenia and if the Tommy release is in a similar vein, Who fans will be thrilled.

There’s no release date quite yet, but we’ll keep you posted when more details are announced.
