Fans of genre-bending and game-changing rock opera TOMMY by The Who now have a chance to hear two exclusive never-before-heard outtakes from the 1969 original vinyl album and surrounding live performances of the piece via a new download in promotion of the just-released Super Deluxe Edition.
"Tommy's Holiday Camp" and "We're Not Gonna Take It" are heard in two early takes with alternate orchestration and very different vocal takes from what ended up on the final release.
Indeed, "Tommy's Holiday Camp" has never rocked quite this hard - Keith Moon did know how to do it like few others, after all!
Also, album closer and finale "We're Not Gonna Take It" has a sped-up tempo and a rockier edge in this fascinating alternate live take of the track, 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 an advertisement posted on the band's official Facebook page, The Who's TOMMY: Super Deluxe Edition includes the following:
