An absolutely outstanding album! I'm old enough to remember when this came out, and it was promoted as one of the first "quad" albums, meaning different stereo sound out of 4 speakers instead of 2. The "quad" technology was kind of a flop, because people weren't that impressed, as I was not. I think this hurt "Quadrophenia", thus, not that many people are aware of it...only true fans of The Who. But, this is a classic! Maybe not on level with "Who's Next", but definitely one of their best. I liken it to the Beatles "White Album", also one of their best...it's only drawback being it should have been one disc instead of 2...as is the case with "Quadrophenia". It's definitely in the top 20 Classic Rock CDs of all time! All you Who fans have to add this to your library!
This is the only CD version to use the original album mix. The 1990's CD reissues were 're-mixed'. They are not 'to my liking'. This Mobile Fidelity two CD set sounds just like my original, first pressing, Track and MCA vinyl copies.

The MFSL CD version of Quadrophenia is absolutely incredible. The depth of sound on the MFSL version brings out the best of every member of The Who. Keith Moon's off-beat drum riffs, Entwhistle's amazing bass play, Daltry's powerful vocals and Townshend's guitar riffs and vocals never sounded better. Without a doubt, this is definitely the best version of Quadrophenia and presents the The Who at the top of their game.
