THE WHO Quadrophenia Director’s Cut (2011 Japanese Limited Super Deluxe Edition 5 SHM-CD/DVD Box set - Pete Townshend explains; ”The time has come for me and my team to honour ‘Quadrophenia’ with a carefully presented package that features examples of the impact surround sound [quadrophonic] would have on the music, to remaster the vinyl mixes, and to collect and restore my demos. I am also going to try to shed some light on the way ‘Quadrophenia’ came about, and how it was inspired by events in my life in 1970 and 1971 when I scribbled or typed the very first notes and lyrics for some of the songs that made it onto the final record.’ This set includes the 2011 Remastered album on the Audiophile Japanese exclusive SHM-CD [Super High Material] format as well as two discs of demo tracks from Pete Townshend’s studio archive, including songs that didn’t make the finished album, an exclusive eight track DVD re-mixed for 5.1 surround sound and a replica 7" vinyl single featuring the hit single ’5.15'. This set is lavishly presented in stunning package replicating the striking black and white imagery from the original vinyl LP photography and adds never-seen colour out-takes of the famous cover shot which also contains a set of six facsimile memorabilia ‘inserts’ housed in a card envelope and a deluxe 100-page, hard-back book featuring a brand new 13,000 word essay by Pete Townshend.
