John, re:

>Now on a related note, (perhaps Mr. Fang can help out here)
they way I understand it is that the version on the Mobile Fidelity
Tommy is different because it was one of the demo versions
which was on the tape that Pete gave to MFSL.  Yes?  No?

No, the only difference is the vocal track. On the MFSL version, Daltrey's
vocal is very different. This is completely different than the "demo"
version.

>Question: Does this version of the song occur anywhere else?
On a boot? On the Tommy Demos boot perhaps?

No CD boot. But it is on the "Maximum R&B" vinyl boot and UK copies of
"Tommy" from 1973 to about 1988...


>>Since I have the 1cd MCA release, the 2CD polydor release, and the
new Tommy CD release, I'd hate to think I'd have to get yet another Tommy
(and at $27.98 or so) just for one song! How would one compare the sonic
differences between the MFSL Tommy and the new Tommy?

Geez, like night and day. All previous CD "Tommy" versions really stink
compared to the new one. The alt. "Eyesight" MAY appear on the new "Odds &
Sods", but "who" knows...
