The groundbreaking and iconic rock opera TOMMY by The Who is on its way back to disc and digital download in a new Super Deluxe Edition packed with bonus materials, including cut songs, demos, outtakes and featuring a brand new surround sound edition of the iconic 1969 "Amazing Journey" tale, as well.

Since its debut in 1969, TOMMY has been seen onstage in venues large and small - including opera houses - byway of its creators, legendary UK rock band The Who, as well as in a big screen Hollywood version in 1975 and a hit Tony Award-winning Broadway adaptation in 1994.

According to a new advertisement posted on the band's official Facebook page, The Who's TOMMY: Super Deluxe Edition includes the following:

  1. Original Studio Album
  2. Complete disc of unreleased demos and outtakes
  3. Complete disc of unreleased 1969 tour recordings
  4. Entire album in 5.1 for the first time
  5. Extensive previously unseen memorabilia

Unfortunately, it appears that no release date has yet been set at this time.

Of note, The Who's TOMMY looks likely for a stage revival sometime soon, as well, particularly given the recent success of original Broadway director Des McAnuff's restaging of the musical at the Stratford Festival earlier this year in Canada, a production which is subsequently rumored to transfer to the US next year.
