  “Your Senses Will Never Be The Same”

  Of the four poster designs created for the 1975 release of Ken Russell’s “Tommy” in Japan this style B is by far the rarest and visually the best. Featuring country unique Japanese artwork the “Christ like” imagery of Tommy (Roger Daltrey) his head adorned with a crown of poppies and bleeding torso pinned by poppies is a memorable sight. Complemented by border artwork of the all-star cast (The Who, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, Oliver Reed to name just a few.) stands out as a great looking poster. Originally rolled (as issued) this rare example presents very well and as it features some of the greatest names ever in both rock music and the cinema represents a fantastic piece of highly desirable, collectable entertainment memorabilia.

  “…a deaf, dumb and blind kid…who sure plays a mean pinball.“

  Tommy

  £60.00

  “Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball, From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all, But I ain’t seen nothin’ like him, In any amusement hall, That deaf, dumb and blind kid, Sure plays a mean pinball…”

  Ken Russell’s rock opera “Tommy” tells the story of a psychosomatically blind, deaf, and mute boy (Roger Daltrey) becomes a master pinball player and, subsequently, the figurehead of a cult. With an all-star cast including Jack Nicholson, Oliver Reed, Ann Margret, Paul Nicholas and a who’s who of rock and roll –Eric Clapton, Elton John, Pete Townsend, Tina Turner, John Entwistle, Keith Moon etc it has a number of stand out scenes with probably the best famous being Elton John as The Pinball Wizard, Roger Daltrey, the titular ‘Tommy’, John Entwistle (Band) and Uncle Ernie, superbly played with real menace and madness by the enigmatic Keith Moon featured here performing ‘Pinball Wizard’ on this original black and white promotional British still from 1975 – a truly classic image. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) this superb example presents to excellent effect and represents a amazing piece of highly desirable, collectable entertainment memorabilia.

  Trivia: All of the movie was filmed to a recorded soundtrack, except for the Pinball Wizard sequence, in which The Who really did play in front of the theatre audience. (Sir Elton John‘s band, however, is featured on the soundtrack.) When the fans rush the stage at the end of the sequence, that wasn’t scripted, but caused by the excitement The Who’s live performance generated, particularly when Pete Townshend started to smash his guitar.
