Details: Amazon.ca An excellent and frequently astonishing album, Quadrophenia is both more ambitious and less accessible than Tommy, the first and most well known rock opera. At its simplest level, Quadrophenia is a coming-of-age story with an awesome soundtrack. The album features some of the Who's finest material, in songs like the enraged "Real Me," the cynical "Punk Meets the Godfather," the wistful "5:15" and "Sea and Sand," and the powerful "Love, Reign O'er Me." The songwriting (courtesy of Pete Townshend) is top-notch, as is the production (the Who actually managed to use synthesizers in an original manner, something few rock bands can aspire to). The mix of powerful songwriting and skillful composition makes this one of the Who's finest moments. --Genevieve Williams Product Description Originally released in 1973, Quadrophenia reached #2 on the Billboard album chart and introduced such Who classics as "The Real Me" and "Love Reign O'er Me." This reissue, besides featuring superior digital remastering, includes (for the 1st time since it's original release) the entire original booklet with full liner notes, libretto, photos and graphics. June this year marks the first time ever Quadrophenia will be performed in it's entirety, when the 3 surviving members of The Who reunite to perform at the Prince's Trust.
