<P> MCA released a newly remastered version on single disc in 1996, which had been remixed by Jon Astley . Astley was able to access the original 8 track tapes and bring out instruments that had been buried, such as the guitar in "Christmas", the French Horn in "Sparks", the cymbals in "The Acid Queen" and the organ in "We're Not Gonna Take it". This release came with McInnerney's complete artwork and a written introduction by Richard Barnes . </P> <P> In 2003 Tommy was made available as a deluxe two - disc hybrid Super Audio CD with a 5.1 multi-channel mix . The remastering was done under the supervision of Townshend and also includes related material not on the original album, including "Dogs - Part 2" (the B - Side to "Pinball Wizard"), "Cousin Kevin Model Child" and "Young Man Blues", plus demos for the album and other unreleased songs that were dropped from the final running order . </P> <P> In 2013, a super deluxe version of Tommy was released as a 3 - CD / Blu - ray disc box set . As well as the original album, the package includes additional demos, and a live performance mostly taken from the Who's show at the Capital Theatre, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 15 October 1969 . The live disc was significant, as it debunked a long - standing myth that the tapes for the tour were burned in preference for the Leeds University show in February 1970 that made up Live at Leeds . </P> <P> The Who had planned to perform Tommy live since starting the project . The group spent April 1969 rehearsing a live version of the show at the Hanwell Community Centre in Ealing including a final run down of the entire stage piece on 23 April . The running order was changed, and four songs ("Cousin Kevin", "Underture", "Sensation" and "Welcome") were dropped entirely . Townshend later said the group "did the whole thing from start to finish and that was when we first realized we had something cohesive and playable ." Daltrey's voice had improved substantially since the group's early tours, and they realised their new live act could completely change their career . </P>
