The cover will be better on an original - if you can find one in good condition - the printing of the photos in the booklet are much clearer. The re-issue from Universal/Polydor sounds huge, has great fidelity, tons of 'air' and has thunderous bass & drums. It's got '320' in the deadwax & some of these Universal '320' pressings are dynamite. Nirvana's 'Nevermind' to mention but one. Quadrophenia – The Who – MCA #6895". AllMusic.

Contrast between songs - "I'm One" is 100% acoustic calm, while "5:15" is powered by bombastic brass, and "The Real Me" starts the album off in a most perfectly chaotic way. Contrast also happens inside the songs - between Roger's bold, strong voice and Pete's soft, heartfelt vocals. This contrast reflects Jimmy's internal conflict, the different voices in his head. But through this point and counterpoint, album stays cohesive - while the story does require a little reading (there is not much "dialogue"), the revisiting of themes keep it familiar.

A subsequent tour of the US and UK followed, employing most of the same players but with Billy Idol replacing Edmondson, [73] Simon Townshend replacing Gilmour and P. J. Proby replacing Glitter during the second half of the tour. 85,000 fans saw the ensemble perform Quadrophenia at Madison Square Garden over six nights in July 1996.

Its just that bit more vibrant, dynamic, and enjoyable. You do want the Who to sound as vibrant as possible. The Classic is really good though, and I would be happy with that if I couldn't find a UK original.

The film caused a brief revival of Mod music and styles at the end of the 70s, but one element of the story that’s not so clear to anyone who’s only watched the film is: what does that title mean? The film doesn’t elaborated, but the explanation is buried in the sleevenotes to the original album. Graff, Gary (11 November 2011). "Pete Townshend on 'Quadrophenia,' The Who's 'Last Great Album' ".
