Pete Townshend's ambitious rock opera follows the story of Tommy Walker, the \"deaf, dumb and blind\" boy at its centre, and its darker themes were controversial enough to be banned by the BBC and some U.S. radio stations. The risk paid off: the album reached No. 4 on the Billboard chart, sold more than 20 million copies, and became the breakthrough that pushed The Who to international superstardom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat still makes \u003cem\u003eTommy\u003c\/em\u003e compelling is how firmly The Who keep the story tied to the force of the band itself. Townshend's long-form narrative opened up new possibilities for rock, but the record never loses its punch, balancing pop hooks, harmonies and hard-charging instrumentation with theatrical sweep. \"Pinball Wizard,\" \"I'm Free\" and the long instrumental \"Underture\" show how the album moves between concise songs and larger recurring motifs without sounding like a mere stage exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also marked a clear shift from the style of \u003cem\u003eThe Who Sell Out\u003c\/em\u003e, giving Townshend room to prove he could write on a much larger scale while still delivering songs that stuck. Later adapted into Ken Russell's 1975 film, \u003cem\u003eTommy\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of the records that defined how far a rock album's narrative could stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP, 180g, Deluxe Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered
