Free Music Notes for Quadrophenia
Free Music Review: 1979 Soundtrack of Quadrophenia
Hit: 4 Stars
This soundtrack features ten tracks from The Who's "Quadrophenia" CD remixed here by John Entwistle, one outtake ("Four Faces" which does have Keith Moon drumming), two songs from The High Munbers (The Who 1964 recordings, "I'm The Face" and "Zoot Suit"), two songs recorded specifically for this soundtrack "Get Out And Stay Out" and "Joker James" with Kenney Jones drumming, seven rock-n-roll oldies performed by the original artists, and "Hi Heel Sneakers" performed by Cross Section.The sound quality is good except for "Green Onions" which uses an inferior master source. However, in my mind it's not as good as The Who's original 1973 version which was totally remixed and remastered by Jon Astley. Here the source tape was only remastered.
If you're just getting into The Who I recommend getting the double CD version which of course contains the whole original recording. This CD is nice to have to augment the 1973 set.
Free Music Review: QUAD SONGS FROM THE SOUNDTRACK
Hit: 4 Stars
Yeah great sound on all these tracks.Its a shame the whole album ain't here,I mean the whole regular album of course.It seems tempting to me to hear beefed up versions of other songs from the original WHO album,like CUT MY HAIR and QUADROPHENIA would have been nice or even the ROCK would have been cool.I must say I don't miss the rest of the movie soundtrack songs by the other artist that where left out with the exception of HI HEELED SNEAKERS by whoever I don't remember. But JOHN'S bass just rock's out on all of these tracks.He will be sorely missed if the band decides to tour again.Losing KIETH was one thing and still calling it THE WHO,but losing JOHN is quite another thing.Well that said this disc has other WHO songs that at the time of release where unheard of(GET OUT AND STAY OUT,JOKER JAMES,AND FOUR FACES)all work well.And of course the 2 openers which date back to the high numbers era are always a blast too.To sum it up THE WHO are the greatest,enjoyFree Music Review: Pretty good!

I had gotton into The Who and there Rock Opera's after seeing "Tommy" on AMC. I bought the soundtrack for Quadrophenia without hearing the original or seeing the movie. The tracks are not as good as Tommy but still good on its own. Among the good tracks are "The Real Me" "Bellboy" "Get Out Stay Out" and "Joker James". There are some classic rock albums on the album which are good but don't fit with the Who songs. This is and will always be one of my favorite albums.Free Music Review: Good Moments But Go With The Original
Hit: 3 Stars
I bought this record back in the early eighties. There are several great songs(Dr. Jimmy, The Real Me, The Punk And The Godfather, 5:15). I also enjoy several of the songs contributed by other artists such as She's So Fine, Da Do Run Run, and Be My Baby.However the new who tracks Four Faces, Joker James, and Get Out And Stay Out are inferior additions when they replace missing tracks like Cut My Hair, Drowned, The Rock, and The Dirty Jobs. Also cutting only 34 seconds of Helpless Dancer is oh so annoying. What is the point please?
If you like the early sixties at the end of the CD, you might want to pick this version up. Otherwise go with the all Who Quadrophenia.
