As soon as I had finished a couple I remembered you've beat me to the punch! Glad I did remember though. I did however do this for any of the cuts that didn't make the Lily or For Tennis albums and added them on as bonus tracks. Very much looking forward to whatever comes next, dear pal.

Unfortunately it became one of his many unfinished projects. <br />I found a wedsite to help you out <br />http://www.princevault.com/index.php?title=Album:_The_Dawn_1993.<br />I am really curious what you can do of what it is known about this. <br />Prince was amazingly prolific in the first half of the 90's and made some amazing tracks, some still not available.

But I cannot swear on this, as I saw it many years ago. <br /><br />However, after your request I did check it from my copy of Before I Get Old, and there are mentions of earlier iterations of Tommy. <br /><br />Few takeaways: <br />- Townshend first mentioned working on a rock opera about deaf, dumb and blind boy in June 1968 (p.259). So, roughly a year before the album was released. In the interview, Pete describes the story of Tommy in quite a detail, as it existed in his head at that time. Apparently the record was known at the time as "Deaf, Dumb and Blind Boy" (p.267). <br />- It is known that many of Tommy's songs came from different times. Marsh mentions Welcome, We're Not Gonna Take It, Sensation, Sally Simpson and Amazing Journey being completed rather early on (p.262), as most of them were made for other purposes. <br />- Marsh also mentions that the group was aiming for the album to be ready by Christmas 1968 (p.265), and their managers Lambert and Stamp also expected so when they were booking the band's gigs for the end of the year (p.267). <br />- Now the big one: Entwistle mentions how Pete asked him to write a couple of nasty songs, and I quote: "It was only when we decided to make a double album that it became much easier to work out the story line. Before, when we put it all together, it just didn't seem to make any sense, so we cut off the ending, stuck Tommy's Holiday Camp on and finished off with another bit of See Me, Feel Me." (p.266). Not very encouraging words, but there you go. The placement of the text seems to imply that this happened before the Rock & Roll Circus gig, but Entwistle mentions the song Tommy's Holiday Camp by name, while Marsh writes later on that they came up with the name of the album (and the character) later, possibly in early 1969, when Pete and Kit wrote the script for Tommy. <br /><br />I hope this helps, and bears some fruit in the future! ;)Kattimaijanenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467704808642900483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-87488576445118346722020-03-30T06:41:51.425-07:002020-03-30T06:41:51.425-07:00I agree, Girl's Eyes and EMCT sound strange he...I agree, Girl's Eyes and EMCT sound strange here, and in my brain I always group them with Whos For Tennis. But it's only slight addressed in the write-up, but I really goofed originally, in making Who's For Tennis *before* Who's Lily. Since Who's For Tennis would in theory use some of the Sell Out outtakes, Lily should have been made first. Now they are more "historically accurate".<br /><br />Not familiar with the single-disc Tommy. Source on that? imo Tommy is perfect as is! I have been working on a single-disc The Wall though... soniclovenoizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361210247154655351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-37558537570179842072020-03-30T02:03:15.024-07:002020-03-30T02:03:15.024-07:00Thanks Sonic!Thanks Sonic!Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004244713301012942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817053733086438907.post-91814181271279493582020-03-30T01:32:52.523-07:002020-03-30T01:32:52.523-07:00After hearing that you will post weekly, it has fe...After hearing that you will post weekly, it has felt like Christmas here. Especially looking forward to your Tennis upgrade, as the original is the one that got me here in the first place. <br /><br />Sad to hear that you consider Someone's Coming as one of Entwistle's weaker compositions, as I hoped including it would have been one of the upgrades. Personally I regard it as the definition of an underrated gem. Entwistle's horns have never sounded better, and I think it fits sonically very well with other Tennis-era songs. Well, everyone has their favorite underdogs (Personally I never cared for neither version of Glittering Girl. First one sounds too sparse and unfinished, and the second one is way too dense, giving instruments too little room to breathe). <br />Speaking of which, it's weird hearing Girl's Eyes and Early Morning Cold Taxi among other Sell Out songs. In my head, their place is in Who's for Tennis, mostly thanks to your original tracklist. <br />On the other hand, I'm glad to see that Sodding About finally got some recognition. Placement of the song is also spot on. <br />I secretly wished that this upgrade would have also included a stereo-version, as the Sell Out stereo mix is really great. But your point about Pictures of Lily as mono only is hard to argue against. <br /><br />Anyway, good job as always! These really make my day and are the best thing to come out of this quarantine. <br /><br />Any chance you will give us your take on the early, single album version of Tommy? It is suspiciously missing from your series of alternative Who-albums.
