ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY:
Recently screened, this fantastic BBC made documentary detailing the making of The Who’s Quadrophenia is a great watch. You couldn’t get closer to the story of the making of the album with Pete Townshend visiting old haunts, shown chatting with Richard Barnes and Irish Jack in a pie and mash shop discussing the original mod movement and some great footage of The Who performing. It’s a heartfelt and frank blow by blow account from Townshend regarding the impetus for the creating of the album and the difficulties in realising his vision. It was a huge undertaking, one that Townshend single handedly controlled from start to finish.

In his home studio and revisiting old haunts in Shepherds Bush and Battersea, Pete Townshend opens his heart and his personal archive to revisit ‘the last great album the Who ever made’, one that took the Who full circle back to their earliest days via the adventures of a pill-popping mod on an epic journey of self-discovery.

But in 1973 Quadrophenia was an album that almost never was. Beset by money problems, a studio in construction, heroin-taking managers, a lunatic drummer and a culture of heavy drinking, Townshend took on an album that nearly broke him and one that within a year the band had turned their back on and would ignore for nearly three decades.
With unseen archive and in-depth interviews from Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, John Entwistle and those in the studio and behind the lens who made the album and thirty page photo booklet.
Contributors include: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Ethan Russell, Ron Nevison, Richard Barnes, Irish Jack Lyons, Bill Curbishley, John Woolf, Howie Edelson, Mark Kermode and Georgiana Steele Waller.
