The Who Classic Masterpiece AS YOU NEVER HEARD BEFORE.......2007-06-12

The Album is a masterpiece of all time rock n roll, even if this is "the less Who album" of the Who... but nevermind!
The Sound in both Stereo (from the original master tape discovered in the vault of UMG) and 5.1 (mixed by Pete Townshend himself) is great...
As you put the disc in your player you'll hear the great differences from the 1996 reissue even if you have only a "simple" CD player..
If You're a great Who fan and you a have SACD player buy ABSOLUTELY this album and enjoy it 'til the laser of your player won't work anymore...
The second disc is clearly for fans only but the quality of some track even if are demos or outtakes is very very good!!

A Landmark Classic Now Made Even Better........2006-12-26

One of the most important, groundbreaking amd influential albums in the history of rock and roll, The Who's 1969 magnum opus "Tommy", a rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind kid who sure plays a mean pinball, is now better than ever thanks to the brilliance of SACD and DSD remastering techniques.

Every song on the cd sounds like it was recorded just yesterday. It is 100 % crystal clear, perfectly remixed and remastered. It gives you a clearer view of the story as well as a more pleasurable than ever listening experience. Pete Townshend and the people involved in this truly put their hearts into making "Tommy" better than ever.

The bonus disc is also worth it. A lot of awesome raritis. The liner notes are an interesting read, and the album itself is of course a masterpiece nobody should be without.

A Milestone of Early Rock!.......2006-09-29

"Tommy" is beyond question one of the big milestones of early rock. Musically the band were at the peak of their creativity.

All band members were obviously extremely talented musicians and both Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend were/are great singers. Apart from few exceptions like "Cousin Kevin" all songs are outstanding; and it's really great to have the whole story on one CD - compared to the old double vinyl album.

Though the storyline may seem a little weird today ( to me it always did ), there is so much great music on this album.

The second bonus CD gives a very interesting insight in the developement of some of the songs. Though the sound quality is exellent CD 2 will mainly be of interest to hard-core Who fans. None of these alternate versions are better than the ones chosen for the album, though a few come close. The studio version of "Young Man Blues" which did not appear on the original album is a nice addition too!

I Love it !.......2006-09-06

I was so blind-sided by this reissue - really. I have looked at this for a few years now, but I never picked it up. My impression of this was that it had some very good music along with some dated sounding tracks, so it wasn't a high priority. I'd been having very good luck buying hybrid SACD's even though I don't own a SACD player; the CD layers benefit greatly from the DSD mastering, making them stand head and shoulders above the latest PCM remasters (there are a few exceptions), so I decided to take the plunge.

The CD layer is stunning. I must have been sitting there with my mouth open after "Overture" began. I experienced emotion that wasn't there on previous listens to this on CD and vinyl. Yes, some of the tracks still sound dated, but most of this album is very good indeed, and this remaster is so incredible. If you own a great stereo rig, I highly recommend buying this - in fact, even if you don't have a great rig, I recommend it!

The Who's classic rock opera gets a 35th birthday celebration fit for a king!.......2006-08-13

The Who's fourth studio(and fifth overall) album Tommy was released in May of 1969.
The Tommy album by The Who was the make or break for the group because if Tommy had failed, The Who would have probably disbanded due to lack of funds despite their concerts selling out based on Pete Townshend's guitar smashing and Keith Moon's drum kit demolishing at the end of each gig.
Guitarist Pete Townshend, under the gun after I Can See For Miles failed as a single in the UK(although it was their biggest ever hit here in the US) came up with a rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind kid named Tommy whom becomes those aforementioned things after witnessing an event as a child that traumatized him(his father killing his step-father whom he considered his father).
Originally considered to be a single length album, the band felt it didn't make sense so they expanded it into a double album and the result is one of rock's Top 10 greatest double studio albums in history(alongside other classic double albums like the then-already released Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland and The Beatles' White album and would help pave the way for more classics like The Rolling Stones' 1972 masterwork Exile on Main Street, The Who's 1973 release Quadrophenia, Elton John's 1973 classic Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Genesis' 1974 masterwork The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Led Zeppelin's 1975 classic Physical Graffiti, Pink Floyd's 1979 masterpiece The Wall and Bruce Springsteen's 1980 classic The River among many others).
Alot of classics appear on this album like the Overture, the classic Top 20 hit Pinball Wizard, Amazing Journey, the Underture(best instrumental on here which is basically a repeat of the album's other instrumental Sparks), Go to the Mirror, I'm Free, Cousin Kevin(one of bass player John Entwistle's greatest compositions), Fiddle About(about the perverted Uncle Ernie), Tommy's Holiday Camp(another excellent ditty written by drummer Keith Moon whom did an excellent rendition in the film version of Tommy in 1975) and the classic finale We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me Feel Me.
The other tracks on the album It's a Boy, 1921(You Didn't Hear It), Eyesight to the Blind, Christmas, The Acid Queen, Do You Think It's Alright, There's a Doctor I've Found, Tommy Can You Hear Me?, Smash the Mirror, Sensation, Miracle Cure, Sally Simpson and Welcome are all great pieces as well though tend to be overlooked.
The album made The Who legends for good and peaked at #4 on the Billboard chart and was their first Gold seller(eventually Platinum).
In 1996, the album was re-released as a remastered CD but used different masters for the remixed reissue.
In October of 2003(just in time for Tommy's 35th Anniversary), Geffen Records(formerly known as MCA) re-released the album as a 2-disc Hybrid SACD with the original mix on the CD layer and a killer 5.1 mix on the SACD layer and this version uses the very original tapes that were found in Universal's vault after being said that the original tapes were destroyed by Kit Lambert in a fire. As a result of the discovery of the original tapes, the sound quality is amazing on here.
Disc two has great outtakes and demos like I Was, The Who trying to record Sally Simpson with hilarious results and instrumental versions of Tommy Can You Hear Me and Tommy's Holiday Camp among many other rarities plus a cool booklet with rare photos.
Highly recommended.

Great value for almost no money!!.......2007-01-30

These songs are all great, and unless you're a total TS fanatic, this will be sufficient for your collection. By the way, Burn in Hell is one of the stupidest songs ever, even for a hair metal band!!

Horrible.......2006-01-03

Twisted Sister were one of the biggest hair band is the late 80s. This compilation is supposed to be a Greatest Hits. It's not. Sure it has Were Not Gonna Take It, The Price, and I Wanna Rock. But where is Were Gonna Make It, Burn In Hell, or Hot Love. Get rid of Leader of the Pack, Tear It Loose, and Lookin Out For #1. This album is OK for casual fans of Twisted Sister, but for diehard fans or anyone who has ever heard Burn in Hell, it will make you cry.

Not In To The Style,Just The Sound.......2005-10-17

Twisted Sister,yes a band made fun of a good amount.Yes are a little odd looking,and yes make some decent catchy tunes.

Wipe their image clean outta your mind and just listen to the songs.This is a reduced Twisted Sisters greatist hits compilation.Many people usually consider any album from a bargain bin a poor mans cd.This believe it or not is a really good album for less then 7 dollers,you can't complain you got scammed.Since you really didn't.

This is by all means not a good introduction to this band,but for people scavenging for a few good songs then yes just buy this.The most notable songs are easily the most spoken of songs,or
"We'er Not Gonna Take It".

Obviously it's a greatist hits for a reason though so if you are new to this band expect some other good hits like,"I Wanna Rock".
"Stay Hungry" and "Tear It Loose" are pretty cool too.

If you are'nt really into hair bands and loads of make up that doesn't mean this isn't for you.You more then likley enjoy atleast two or three tracks.As said earlier this is less then 7 dollars wich is half the reason you lack some other big songs.Don't expect much,but do expect some.

A good compilation with obvious shortcomings.......2005-06-15

We're Not Gonna Take It And Other Hits (Covers 1982-1987, Released 1999.) A Twisted Sister hits compilation.

One of the most wrongly-ridiculed bands of the eighties was Twisted Sister. Due to the band's cross-dressing and long hair image, they were dubbed a glam metal band by many, despite the fact that this claim was far from the truth. While the band had the glam image, their music was much harder, heavier, and raw-edged than that of the actual glam bands - Dee Snider and the guys had a sound more similar to the likes of Motorhead than Poison. The band released five studio albums and assorted compilations over the years. Read on for my review of one of the band's budget compilations.

We'll start off by analyzing the good points of this compilation. First of all, it's affordable, and a fairly good value. At the price most stores charge, that's about a dollar a song - not a bad deal at all. You can't have a Twisted Sister hits compilations without the hits We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock, and sure enough, you get them both here. Likewise, you get lesser known hits like You Can't Stop Rock And Roll, Stay Hungry, and Leader Of The Pack. You also get plenty of underrated masterpieces from the classic metal legends, including I'll Never Grow Up Now and Come Out And Play. If you want a cheap, afforable package with all the big hits, this really is it. But it's not perfect - in fact this package is far from it, in many ways. HOW CAN YOU HAVE A TWISTED SISTER COMPILATION WITHOUT BURN IN HELL!? NOT cool. Likewise, where are What You Don't Know (Can Hurt You), Under The Blade, and Hot Love? These omissions are unforgivable, especially the latter, which was a pretty big MTV hit back in the day. And why aren't their eighty minutes of music? I can't give this set a perfect score by any means, but I certainly won't bash it either. This makes a pretty good introduction to the band. Normally I don't give four-star ratings to budget compilations, but the band's official one sets the bar pretty low. Still, Essentials is a better compilation.

This compilation isn't as readily available as the official Big Hits And Nasty Cuts compilation, which is unfortunate, since this really is the better compilation overall. Still, if you look in enough stores, you'll probably find this one. And since it costs less than Big Hits And Nasty Cuts does, why not just buy this one instead? It's a no brainer.

And there you have it. Is this a perfect compilation? Nope. Does it kill the band's official compilation dead. For the most part. I strongly suggest getting all five classic Twisted Sister albums, but if you can't afford them or you just want a compilation, get this or Essentials. Just don't buy the band's official compilation.

Any of you got Cousin Kevin??.......2005-08-04

I was very thrilled to finally have this in CD version to replace my long playing record version.

However it was shattered a bit when I noticed a song was missing. Turned out that Cousin Kevin has been skipped or wasn't on this CD. I feel cheated! I wonder if this tune has been left out in the other CDs also?? Or just mine?? Hmm.....

Would have been a collector's item if it wasn't for this unfortunate error.

Best Version of Tommy EVER Created!!!.......2005-07-17

I first heard the Tommy by the London Symphony Orchestra when I was in my final year in Junior High School. My music instructor let me borrow the LPs (in 1975).

I loved it, and thought it was one of the best rock operas ever. This remains my view to this day (16July2005). Back in 1975 I was unaware of other versions.

Recently, I was looking to find this version of Tommy. I purchased versions made by the Who and other versions made earlier and later but found them INFERIOR to the London Symphony version.

To experience this rock opera with the best score, arrangement and performance, then this is the version to hear.

This CD is a must have!!

Did I think it was alright ?.......2005-05-17

Haven't heard this album since it was released in the seventies. Might it disappoint after all this time ? Absolutely not, it was most definitely alright !!!

best version ever made.......2005-05-12

I have been listening to this album for at least 30 years. I recently replaced my worn out record with a cd. It has a powerful sound that is missing from both the rock n roll and movie sound track.

A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION OF GREAT ROCK WORKS.......2005-04-15

I heard this first on the radio (there was a radio station which played albums at midnight - years
ago) I fell in love with it. I searched for a good time to find it (on vinyl). Years later I found it on
CD. Every few months or so I take it out and play it. It's as good to hear today as it was in the
seventies. I have never tired of it. If you like `progressive rock' (I think you could classify this as
progressive rock) - you will enjoy this forever. If you can find this scarce CD, buy it and put in
your home stereo system (not a `sound card' in your computer, using cheap speakers), turn off the
lights and surrender to the music.

Full disclosure.......2002-01-12

Buyer beware : nowhere on the packaging does it say so, but this CD is a live recording. In fact, it is an abbreviated version of the "Twisted Sister Live at Hammersmith" CD. The performances are fine, but a little truth in advertising would have been appreciated. Dee Snider is a great performer, but the long raps between and during songs pall after repeated listenings.
Added note : Word is that BMG has agreed to stop production of this unauthorized CD and recall all of the ones that are in stores. It will possibly be re-released in the future with a less misleading cover and title.
