The Who have released “Christmas,” a cut from their album Tommy recorded with the 104-piece London Symphony Orchestra. A remastered version of the collab, initially released in 1972, lands on CD, vinyl and digital download September 11. “I always saw the Who’s version of Tommy as more of a sketch and felt there was more that could be done with it,” Pete Townshend said in a statement. “The London Symphony project, I think, paved the way for more to come.” The release will be issued on Lou Adler’s Sound and Visual Label. He also helmed the Ode Records imprint that released the original album. “When [producer] Lou Reizner explained his idea and concept for the recording of Tommy and that Pete Townshend was on board, that moved me to become involved,” Adler explains. “The recording sessions in England were dynamic and mind-boggling. The size and sound of the London Symphony Orchestra, the Chambre Choir voices and the addition of the amazing soloists made Reizner’s dream a reality.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com.
