Album: Tommy (Soundtrack)

LPs (vinyl) Sampled: UK (Polydor), USA (Polydor)

CDs (original mix) Sampled: USA (Polydor), Germany (Polydor), Japan (Polydor)

CDs (remaster) Sampled: USA (Polydor)

LP Comments: Both UK and USA copies sound equally as good.

CD (original mix) comments: The Japan copy was released before the German or USA copies and use tapes that may be a generation or two removed. While it still sounds good, it doesn't sound as good as the German or USA copies.

CD (remaster) comments: Another example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The previous version sounded fine and didn't require remastering. This version sounds worse than the previous release due to over processing.

Summary: Either the USA or German (Polydor) (pre-remastered) copies sound fine.

Other Comments: Someone had the clever idea of adding the "Overture" (which was previously only available on the single) to the cassette release of this album, which was then later added to the German and USA CDs - a good decision.
