Side Two ended with an inner groove with a Track Records jingle repeating.
According to Pete (via Speedy) , "Armenia, City In The Sky" is actually titled "I'm An Ear, Sitting In The Sky"—ahh drugs!

Tommy's Afterlife The Pinball Wizard spawned three other records (rollover for covers): In 1972, Lou ReiznerTommy: LSO Version assembled an all-star line-up (Sandy Denny, Richie Havens, Merry Clayton, and Rod Stewart among others) and used the London Symphony Orchestra to present an over-blown, but interesting Tommy. Complete in hard slip case and 32-page booklet. See the booklet at the 45worlds link. Links!   In 1975, Ken RussellTommy: Movie Version directed another over-blown, but interesting take on our boy in the movie version. It starred that fabulous singer Oliver Reed and also included Ann-Margret slithering around the floor covered in baked beans. It's true: they don't make movies like that anymore! Links!   Our boy made his BroadwayTommy: Broadway Version debut in Tommy (The Musical) on April 22, 1993, with 899 performances (couldn't do 1 more???). The show was produced by Sir George Martin, with a few new songs to help the story along. It's been touring in various countries since then. See the CD booklet at the Discogs link (this time).
