What are “Non-Target CDs� Non-Target CDs constitute any early pressing that does not bear the Target design. Thus, it includes early Japanese and West German pressings made for various record labels for various markets. Also included here are early U.S., U.K., and French pressings that are rare and/or have unique masterings. The full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy that launched the band to international superstardom, written almost entirely by Pete Townshend. Hailed as a breakthrough upon its release, its critical standing has diminished somewhat in the ensuing decades because of the occasional pretensions of the concept and because of the insubstantial nature of some of the songs that functioned as little more than devices to advance the rather sketchy plot. Nonetheless, the double album has many excellent songs, including "I'm Free, " "Pinball Wizard, " "Sensation, " "Christmas, " "We're Not Gonna Take It, " and the dramatic ten-minute instrumental "Underture. " Though the album was slightly flawed, Townshend's ability to construct a lengthy conceptual narrative brought new possibilities to rock music. Despite the complexity of the project, he and The Who never lost sight of solid pop melodies, harmonies, and forceful instrumentation, imbuing the material with a suitably powerful grace. ~ All Music Guide Editorial reviews 4 stars out of 5 - ...Almost thirty-five years later, this classic-rock touchstone still has the power to enthrall...Rolling Stone (01/22/2004)Ranked #96 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time - ...Driven by the hellbent drumming of Keith Moon, the Who surge and shine...Rolling Stone (12/11/2003) Details Playing time: 75 min.
