THE WHO "quadrophenia(soundtrack)" cd, 1973
the soundtrack album to the movie of the same name...i must have seen this movie twenty times over the years, and love it!, unfortunately though, the album doesnt fare quite so well...
originally a concept album made around the life of a Mod in mid '60s London...from the mundane 9-5 job, his life as a Mod and the trials and tribulations surrounding it.
lots of okay material on here, but very little that i would say stands up outside the album...which is often the case with conceptual things!
one superb Who track on here though, in the outstanding "love reign o'er me"...the rest, well, i can take or leave them personally!
album comes in with a score of 1.9 or a converted 6/10, not my favourite townshend work, but many Who fans would disagree with me!
from the album:
love reign o'er me
