The Who's rock opera "TOMMY" Has there ever been a notable "VINYL REISSUE" ??


The above title is my question: Has there ever been a notable that is, good VINYL  reissue  of THIS OUTSTANDING PIECE OF MUSIC.  I have seen CD's of it, but just Red Book standard level, or even re-mastered versions, but not on vinyl.


Thank you,

S.J.

"I have never seen that London Symphony Orchestra copy for sale anywhere."

I have one of those independent  neighborhood stores(boarded up until who knows when) that something like that just magically shows up. Guess it will just be one of those finds when I'm not expecting.

Discogs lists it also being released in the infamous "Quadraphonic" sound! 
This one.

It's a 1973 MCA reissue. It might be hiding in the bin of your local store? I have a 1969 US Decca, that sounds great, but spotty. I have this later reissue, and it sounds quite good.

I bet there are a few R-R owners still enjoying their 1969 copy.

I can imagine a "modern" reissue plagued by the usual stuff-punched up bass, overall "CD" tone.

If the my record stores ever open up again, I'm going to look for that 
London Symphony LP. Thanks!

I can only go to the Goodwill stores. Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams album stampers-a-plenty!
