If you are not familiar with this album, here's some additional information:
"Pete Townshend revisited the rock opera concept with another double-album opus, this time built around the story of a young mod's struggle to come of age in the mid-'60s. If anything, this was a more ambitious project than Tommy, given added weight by the fact that the Who weren't devising some fantasy but were re-examining the roots of their own birth in mod culture. In the end, there may have been too much weight, as Townshend tried to combine the story of a mixed-up mod named Jimmy with the examination of a four-way split personality (hence the title Quadrophenia), in turn meant to reflect the four conflicting personas at work within the Who itself. The concept might have ultimately been too obscure and confusing for a mass audience. But there's plenty of great music anyway, especially on "The Real Me," "The Punk Meets the Godfather," "I'm One," "Bell Boy," and "Love, Reign o'er Me." Some of Townshend's most direct, heartfelt writing is contained here, and production-wise it's a tour de force, with some of the most imaginative use of synthesizers on a rock record. Various members of the band griped endlessly about flaws in the mix, but really these will bug very few listeners, who in general will find this to be one of the Who's most powerful statements.
If you're not familiar with Classic Records or the Quiex SV-P releases , here's some additional information:
Classic Records has been producing HAND MADE / Audiophile quality reproductions for several years .... They are engineered from the original master tapes and pressed on 150 gram Super Vinyl. They take months to produce the master. Every precaution is taken to insure the most accurate sound reproduction possible.
Super Vinyl is produced in Japan, the only place in the world where such high quality vinyl is made. Super Vinyl gives an ultra quiet playing surface. It's a vinyl that is heavier and harder than ordinary vinyl. And it has no "memory". You can play a Classic SV-P record over and over again, without having to let it rest after each play. When an ordinary, soft vinyl record is played repeatedly, the groove walls tend to stretch and distort and the sound deteriorates.
While time consuming, their preoccupation with an exact sonic replica of the original master stereo tape creates an incredible listening experience. They cut no corners. They make no compromises. Every Classic Quiex SV-P recording will challenge your equipment and your listening ability."
The LP and cover are in MINT Condition!! It was played ONCE to archive and then stored.
