Description
Christmas/Overture by The Who (1969 Track PRO 4)
Ultra mega rare promo single from Tommy, never commercially issued.
Very good condition: normal surface wear.
Original plain white sleeve .
Christmas, written by Pete Townshend, is the seventh song on the rock opera, Tommy (1969) and tells how on Christmas morning, Tommy's father is worried about Tommy's future, and soul. He claims "Tommy doesn't know what day it is/He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is," and he wonders "How can he be saved/From the eternal grave?" Musically, Christmas introduces the See Me, Feel Me reprise. Also there is a short "Can You Hear Me" reprise that will be repeated in the song Tommy Can You Hear Me. That same Christmas, Tommy is given a game of pinball, foreshadowing to the events that take place in "Pinball Wizard".
