Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Tommy, The Who's hugely successful rock-opera started it all. Quadrophenia was the 1973 follow-up, a disillusioned flashback to the early 60s, when mods engaged in pitched battles with rockers on the Brighton seafront. Pre-dating Trainspotting by two decades in its portrait youthful nihilism, drugs, violence and rock 'n' roll, Songs from Quadrophenia is the soundtrack to the 1978 film based on the original album. The film dropped several numbers, with The Who providing new songs "Get Out And Stay Out", "Four Faces" and "Joker James" (as well as producing re-recorded versions many of the original tunes) to fit the adapted storyline. The vinyl version of the soundtrack included several Motown classics missing from the CD, though this release does include two scene-setters by The High Numbers, before launching into 13 tracks by The Who. There are some rock classics here, with "Love Reign O'er Me" being particularly memorable, though given that the new songs are not up to the standard of those on the original Quadrophenia, that must really be the album to get first. Serious Who collectors will want both, and Songs from Quadrophenia has the bonus of serving as a souvenir of one of the most powerful British films ever made. --Gary S. Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars The High Point of Rock?, 4 May 2001
This album was originally issued on vinyl in the autumn of 1973. I was then 16, and bought it the day it hit the shops. I played it right through, twice, that night. I fell in love with it there and then.

Since that time, the reputation of this album has risen and fallen a fair few times.

At its very worst, when you listen to it and your mood is wrong, "Quadrophenia" can sound turgid and lame - 70s rock, stuck in its own groove.

Listen again.

There's power, grace, calm and elegance in here.

Pete Townshend was aiming to write something to unite the rough edges of rock with the higher aims of art. In the 21st century, such an ambition seems almost laughable - mainly because so few people have the talent or the vision to even try. They'd rather loll about in a vapid cloud of "post-modern" irony or "slacker" idleness. The Who in 1973 did not know HOW to be idle.

Listen - hear the way PT combines T.S. Eliot's despairing visions of a world dry and arid for lack of spiritual life, with a pimply youth's callow cries for acceptance and self-knowledge. Hear how THAT seemingly pompous notion is turned into living, breathing music with fire in its belly, blood in its limbs - and angels on its shoulders.

The great beast that was The Who was simply magnificent back then. This is their gift to history. Take it. And be lucky.
