A billboard for The Who’s “Tommy” album - on Sunset Strip in 1975.

Looks like the London Symphony Orchestra version of Tommy, released in 1972 with this artwork.

I remember Rod Stewart sang Pinball Wizard on that LP.

I don't think that was for the Who's "Tommy". In the mid-70s, a few years after the Who's version, somebody produced a version with famous pop stars singing the songs. The eyeballs give it away.

There was a used car dealership on that corner if I remember correctly. They had interesting cars.
