THE CRACKS
BETWEEN THE
PAVING STONES,
LIKE RIVERS
OF FLOWING VEINS
Quadrophenia
is the
soundtrack album
of the 1979 film
which refers to the
1973 rock opera
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
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.
