No Tommy Film
LONDON — The Who have scrapped plans for the new album they’ve been working on, preferring instead to work towards something that Pete Townshend says others will view as a sequel to Tommy. Four tracks from an album that the band had previously been working on, before producer Kit Lambert came up with the new idea, will probably be out as singles — “Water”, “I Don’t Even Know Myself”, “Postcard” by John Entwhistle and “Now I’m a Farmer”.

LONDON — The Who have scrapped plans for the new album they’ve been working on, preferring instead to work towards something that Pete Townshend says others will view as a sequel to Tommy. Four tracks from an album that the band had previously been working on, before producer Kit Lambert came up with the new idea, will probably be out as singles — “Water”, “I Don’t Even Know Myself”, “Postcard” by John Entwhistle and “Now I’m a Farmer”. All four will probably be put out as a “maxi-single”, a diminutive EP concept.
The Who are also looking to build a studio, which Townshend hopes to
build in an old house that the group would have converted.
They’ll not be doing the previously proposed film of Tommy either. “I
think Warner Bros, have the film rights and they can make a film whenever they want, with whoever they want,” Townshend said in Disc, the British teeny-pop paper.
