I am not sure why, but it has some kind of hold on me. I guess it is an anthem for anyone who has felt misunderstood and who likes The Who.<\/p>\n<p>I am therefore keen to hear things like the rumoured 5.1 mix of Quadrophenia as well as any demos, concerts from the period, and so on, that might be thrown in. I would also like a good copy of the photos from the original insert, because mine has fallen apart. Most of them did, since the stitching was not strong enough to hold the booklet to the LP cover.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I do not need new vinyl, nor a book that I will browse through once and never again.<\/p>\n<p>The snag with this type of box is that they are all or nothing; and usually carefully designed so that there is at least one exclusive thing that you don\u2019t want to do without.<\/p>\n<p>EMI did David Bowie\u2019s Station to Station box, making it the only source for the new surround mix.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing all these boxes have in common is an extravagant price. Live at Leeds Super Deluxe came out last year and is the only way to get the complete Hull performance on CD, though you can download from Apple\u2019s iTunes. The box was always expensive; now it is out of print and optimistic resellers on Amazon are asking nearly \u00a3400.00 for it.<\/p>\n<p>So I have mixed feelings about the new Quadrophenia, but will probably buy it anyway.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you let them do it to you You&#8217;ve got yourself to blame.      <br \/>It&#8217;s you who feels the pain <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px\" marginheight=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-uk.amazon.co.uk\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=onlyconnectsyste&amp;o=2&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=B005D9B26E\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Details are scant, but Amazon is now listing a new edition of The Who\u2019s Quadrophenia, complete with book and (from the picture) five discs of some description.
