Pete Townshend wrote most of the story of the \"deaf, dumb and blind boy\" who becomes a pinball champion and messiah figure, with John Entwistle and Keith Moon contributing individual songs. It was recorded from autumn 1968 to spring 1969 at IBC Studios in London and produced by Kit Lambert. Singles included \"Pinball Wizard\" and \"I'm Free\", and the work was later turned into a film (1975) and a stage musical. This copy is a 1969 German pressing in a trifold sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePressing details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel \/ Cat. no.:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polydor 184 216\/17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl 2LP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e German pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of this pressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/rock\"\u003eRock\u003c\/a\u003e, Classic Rock, Rock Opera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trifold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraded to Goldmine standard (see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/vinyl-grading\"\u003eVinyl Grading\u003c\/a\u003e).
