Townshend announces deluxe “Quadrophenia” set
Written by admin on June 2, 2011 – 7:04 pm - |
Pete Townshend has revealed that a deluxe edition of the classic album “Quadrophenia” is scheduled for release in October.
The original “Quadrophenia” double album was released in 1973 and reached number two on the US and UK album charts. A film based on the album was released in 1979 and has a sizable cult following. |
Speaking on The Who’s blog, Townshend said:
| “I am shut away in my home studio at the moment working to restore the demos of Quadrophenia. Bob Pridden is doing surround-sound mixes of selected tracks. Jon Astley is remastering the original vinyl mix, and evaluating his own 1996 remix (the one where you can properly hear Roger’s astonishing vocals). I am sitting in a pile of notes, desk diaries, photos (I took a lot of my own between 1971-1973 when Quadrophenia emerged), original lyrics and writing liner notes. |
| …This package, due in October if all goes well, is another Live at Leeds and Hull – or even another Lifehouse Chronicles – in the making. You are going to love it.” |
With Townsend inviting comparisons with the 4-CD “Live at Leeds” and 6-CD “Lifehouse Chronicles” titles, “Quadrophenia” promises to be a comprehensive and impressive release.
