The record

Title: The Who – Tommy
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1969, Rock, Rock Opera, London, England
Matrix #: MCA2-10005
Condition: VG+

Cultural Facts:

  1. Band Drama: Pete Townshend’s control grew sharply here, shifting The Who further from a gang dynamic into a songwriter-led machine.
  2. Personal Struggle: Townshend later said childhood sexual abuse and deep psychological turmoil fed the album’s themes of trauma, silence, and dissociation.
  3. Media Narrative: The rock-opera concept brought prestige, but some critics saw it as overreach, starting a long debate about ambition versus excess.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
