Quadrophenia (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (2000 CD reissue)



THE CRACKS

 BETWEEN THE 

PAVING STONES,

LIKE RIVERS 

OF FLOWING VEINS

 Quadrophenia

 is the

 soundtrack album 

of the 1979 film

 Quadrophenia 

which refers to the 

1973 rock opera 

Quadrophenia.

 It was initially released

 on Polydor Records

 in 1979

 as a cassette and LP 

and was 

re-released

 as a compact disc

 in 1993 

and 2000. 

The album was 

dedicated to

 Peter Meaden

a prominent Mod 

and first manager of 

The Who

who had died

 a year prior

 to the

 album's release.

The album contains

 ten of the seventeen tracks

 from the

 original rock opera

 Quadrophenia.

 These are different mixes

 than those that appear 

on the 1973 album 

as they were remixed 

including newly recorded 

Steinberger bass guitar parts

in 1979 

by John Entwistle. 

The most 

notable difference

 is the track 

"The Real Me"

 (used for the title sequence of the film) 

which features a different 

and more prominent

 bass track, 

more prominent vocals

 and a more

 definite ending, 

which was part 

of the 

original recording

 but faded out 

on the previous mix.

 Most of the tracks 

are also edited 

to be slightly shorter. 

The soundtrack 

also includes

 three tracks by 

The Who 

that did not appear 

on the 1973 album

  "Four Faces",

 "Get Out and Stay Out" 

and

 "Joker James". 

The latter two songs 

marked 

Kenney Jones's

 first on-record

 appearance

with the Who 

after taking over 

on drums

 for the late

 Keith Moon. 

"Four Faces" 

was one of

 two outtakes

 recorded during

 the original

 1973 sessions

 but unused 

at the time 

 The other being

 "We Close Tonight", 

which eventually 

was released on

 the

 remastered version 

of Odds & Sods.

A version of the album

 was released on CD

 in 2000

 as Music from

 the Soundtrack 

of the Who Film

 Quadrophenia

 restoring the 

track listing

 to its 

original configuration, 

and adding 

"I'm the Face"

 to the running order.
