Item Description
Quadrophenia is a critically acclaimed album by the legendary band The Who.
Quadrophenia is a rock opera. The main protagonist is a teenager named Jimmy Cooper. He is entrenched in the Mod lifestlye. Mod was a subculture in the U.K. that essentially rejected the stuffy and dull culture that they perceived was around them, in favor of African American music like blues and soul, and Jamaican ska. They also liked Italian motor scooters.
Jimmy is a schizophrenic with multiple personality syndrome, and each personality is said to represent the personality of the band.
The liner notes expand on the personality description and band member it relates to.
A tough guy, a helpless dancer - Roger Daltrey
A romantic, is it me for a moment? - John Entwistle
A bloody lunatic, I’ll even carry your bags. - Keith Moon
A beggar, a hypocrite, love reign o’er me. - Pete Townshend
This version of the album is sonically splendid. It’s a 180gram, 2LP edition. This is the best version on vinyl in existence. It’s a great album that would be welcome in any vinyl lover’s collection.
