Die 1973 als Doppelalbum veröffentlichte Rockoper »Quadrophenia« von The Who ist ein konzeptionelles Werk, das im Milieu der Mod-Bewegung der 1960er Jahre angesiedelt ist, in der die Band ihre Karriere im Westen Londons begann. Die Hauptfigur Jimmy ist ein unzufriedener Jugendlicher, der seine Eltern und seinen bescheidenen Job hasst, aber bei seinen Mod-Kollegen Befreiung von der Schufterei findet, indem er Pillen schluckt und mit dem Motorroller zu Wochenendkonzerten von Bands wie The Who fährt. Aber die Freiheit, die er findet, entpuppt sich als illusorisch.
Der Albumtitel stammt von den Persönlichkeiten der vier Mitglieder von The Who, die die vier Seiten von Jimmy repräsentieren sollen. Townshend hat das Album als die beste Musik bezeichnet, die er je geschrieben hat. 1979 wurde es unter der Regie von Franc Roddam verfilmt (mit einem jungen Sting in einer Schlüsselrolle) und wurde von The Who live aufgeführt, manchmal mit Gastmusikern.
Ein fantastischer 'Director's Cut' des musikalischen Meilensteins von 1973 - produziert, autorisiert und betreut von Pete Townshend.
Das limitierte Super Deluxe Boxset bietet einzigartige Einblicke in die Entstehung dieses musikalischen Meilensteins. Es enthält ein Remaster des Original-Doppelalbums, Pete Townshends bisher unveröffentlichte Demos, einschließlich einiger Songs, die es nicht auf das Album geschafft hatten, eine exklusive DVD mit 5.1 Sound, ein hochwertiges Buch mit Hardcover, bisher unveröffentlichte persönliche Notizen, Fotos, Memorabilia und weiteres exklusives Material.
Product Information
After the 1971 album ‘Who’s Next’, Pete Townshend returned to the ‘rock-opera’ concept, so dramatically realised through ‘Tommy’, with another ambitious double-album masterpiece. Based around the story of Jimmy – QUADROPHENIA tells the tale of a young mod and his struggle to come of age in the mid-1960s. The story also takes its influence from the band’s early fans from the original mod era, and its themes of teenage angst and disaffection still resonate strongly today.
The project was intended to reflect the four characters of The Who and features some of Townshend’s most inspired, personal song-writing - way ahead of its time in scope and purpose.
This is one of the most widely recognised albums of The Who’s career because of its classic depiction of mod culture, its renowned imagery and the magnificent music and powerful performances.
The album is hugely significant in popular culture, influencing many other artists, musicians and film-makers – inspiring the classic 1979 British film by Franc Roddam and the UK ‘mod revival’ of the 1970s.
“This 2011 revisit to The Who’s 1973 Quadrophenia recording is inspired by current and continuing interest in the project,” explains Townshend. “The Who performed a concert version of the piece at the Royal Albert Hall in 2010 for the Teenage Cancer Trust with excellent reviews, and the success of that event led to the prospect of a Who tour in 2012 based on the album. The last such tour was between 1996-1997.”
The box set gives a unique insight into the creation of this landmark album and will feature a re-master of the original double album, Pete Townshend’s previously unheard demos including songs that didn’t make it onto the original album, an exclusive eight track 5.1 sound DVD, a deluxe hard-back book, previously unseen personal notes, photographs, memorabilia and other exclusive material that will be announced over the coming months.
