Story & Background
"Tommy" was not just an album, but a revolutionary rock opera that pushed the boundaries of popular music and gave birth to a new genre. Its release in 1969 on Track Record, the label co-founded by managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, was emblematic. It guaranteed The Who unprecedented artistic freedom and creative control, essential for such an ambitious and personal project. The narrative of the deaf, mute and blind boy who finds enlightenment through pinball was born from a sudden flash of inspiration by Pete Townshend. He, seeking a recognisable element to make the story more compelling for critic Nik Cohn, transformed Tommy into a pinball champion. This detail not only made the plot more accessible, but also generated the celebrated track "Pinball Wizard", which became one of the leading singles and a generational anthem, solidifying Tommy's legend as a cultural icon.
