Title: The Who - Quadrophenia

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1973 / Mod Revival / Rock Opera / London

Matrix #: MCA2-6895

Condition: VG+ (no booklet) (LM)

Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle Pete Townshend was deep in spiritual searching and identity strain during this period, and Quadrophenia became his most obsessive attempt to turn inner conflict into a full narrative work.
2. Band Drama The album mirrored the band itself: four strong personalities pulling against each other, with the story’s split identity often read as Townshend mapping The Who from the inside out.
3. Media Narrative Its portrait of disillusioned British youth gained a second life after the 1979 film, helping turn the album into a lasting symbol of mod culture beyond the original release.
