Classic Records
200 Gram Audiophile Virgin Vinyl LP - Sealed
After the worldwide success of Tommy, Pete Townshends decided to take a second stab at rock opera and 1973s Quadrophenia was the result. Its premise is rooted in a teenage perspective in 1964-65, and the friction between mods and rocke in the London and Bristol regions of the UK. The four-way split personality of the central figure Jimmy has been admitted to by Townshend as also being based on the distinct personalities of the four band members. The legendary Glyn Johns production is both powerful and stunning with the writing and arrangements, featuring maybe the most tasteful use of both sound effects and synthesizers in rock recording, brilliant. Pianist Chris Stainton (Spooky Tooth) contributes strong support on such songs as The Real Me, The Punk Meets The Godfather, Im One and Love Reign oer Me, all classic Who performances.
This LP reissue was mastered and cut from the original analog master tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering using Classics ALL TUBE analog cutting system. Pressed on Classics 200g Super Vinyl Profile gives a slight edge to this reissue over the excellent original Track release. Gatefold artwork including tipped in 44 page booklet are given the usual Classic authenticity treatment down to the paper stock being original. For most Who fans this is the pinnacle of Who albums and is treated as such in all aspects of this reissue which is NOT to be missed!
