On 9 October 1970, the song was released as the B-side of "See Me, Feel Me" – which did not chart – and was titled "Overture from Tommy".[1]
Song structure
As an overture the song features samples of Tommy's themes:
- 0:00 – 0:32 Adapted from "1921"
- 0:33 - 0:36 Adapted from “The Hawker”
- 0:36 – 0:58 Adapted from "We're Not Gonna Take It"
- 0:59 – 1:33 Adapted from "Go to the Mirror!"
- 1:34 – 1:55 Adapted from "See Me, Feel Me"
- 1:56 – 2:18 Adapted from "Go to the Mirror!"
- 2:19 – 2:55 Adapted from "Listening to You"
- 2:56 - 3:03 Adapted from “Go to the Mirror!”
- 3:04 – 3:19 Adapted from "We're Not Gonna Take It"
- 3:20 – 3:50 Adapted from "Pinball Wizard”
There is no pause between the tracks "Overture" and "It's a Boy" so the songs are often combined as "Overture".
The Assembled Multitude version
The Assembled Multitude, an instrumental ensemble group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, scored with a remake of "Overture" which peaked at #16 in August, 1970 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[2]
