Surround Professional Item of the Day
'Tommy' Remixed by Townshend in 5.1 Surround Sound

Los Angeles (October 24, 2003)-"Tommy can you hear me?" will be heard like never before with the hybrid SACD (Super Audio CD) release on October 28, 2003 of the double-disc Tommy--Deluxe Edition (MCA/UMe).

Says The Who's Pete Townshend, who digitally remixed the album from the original master tapes: "To be able to listen to Tommy in what is master-quality audio, just as Roger, John, Keith and I did in the studio so many years ago, is a special experience--and completely new for fans of The Who and the album. This is what Tommy was meant to sound like, and I couldn't be happier that the public will finally hear it the way it was intended."

Disc 1 features the complete original album in 5.1 surround sound, SACD stereo and CD stereo (all re-mastered by Jon Astley, Townshend's catalog reissue collaborator. Disc 2 brings together 12 rare or previously unreleased outtakes (such as "I Was" and "Miss Simpson") and alternate versions (such as for "Tommy Can You Hear Me?," "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "Christmas") in SACD 5.1, SACD and CD stereo, plus four never-before-released demos ("It's A Boy," "Amazing Journey," "Christmas" and "Do You Think It's Alright?") in SACD and CD stereo.

The package also features liner notes and copies of some of Townshend's original handwritten and typed lyrics.

A DVD-Audio version of Tommy is expected to be released at a later date.
