Steve, re:
>the alternate version of "Eyesight to the Blind" -- only available on the
MFSL CD -- featuring a different vocal track by Roger Daltrey.
Currently, Jon Astley is considering the use of this "alternate" version on
the "new" "Tommy" that is forthcoming.

....I'd JUST like to address the issue of using either the "original"
or the "alternate" take of "Eyesight to the Blind" -- I don't care which
version Jon Astley ultimately decides on -- both are excellent vocal takes.
I just *HOPE* that whichever is used for the remastered TOMMY cd, that
"SOMEONE" has the sense to include the OTHER version on the remastered
Odds & Sods CD. Especially if the supposedly original version is used --
it would be a shame if years from now, the more common version is, over time,
"filtered" out of availability. All of a sudden, the one version most
people are familiar with can only be heard on some old lp. I would hate for
that to happen.
With my "faith in something bigger" still intact,
gary.
