Can you see the real me?
More news from the Who front. The big Quadrophenia release is coming up in November (same week as the game Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim comes out, which I'm getting as well), and the news looks so great! I'm super duper excited! XD
First it was the tour news, which had me squeeing:
“This 2011 revisit to The Who’s 1973 Quadrophenia recording is inspired by current and continuing interest in the project,” explains Townshend. “The Who performed a concert version of the piece at the Royal Albert Hall in 2010 for the Teenage Cancer Trust with excellent reviews, and the success of that event led to the prospect of a Who tour in 2012 based on the album. The last such tour was between 1996-1997.”
Now the news of what's going to be in the boxed set has me even more hyped!
'The album is scheduled for release via Universal Music Catalogue on November 14th, 2011. The box set gives a unique insight into the creation of this landmark album and will feature a re-master of the original double album, Pete Townshend’s previously unheard demos including songs that didn’t make it onto the original album, an exclusive eight track 5.1 sound DVD, a deluxe hard-back book, previously unseen personal notes, photographs, memorabilia and other exclusive material that will be announced over the coming months.'
I love Pete's demos, and it's such a great period in the band, I can't wait to hear it. I also expect only the best from the remaster. I only wish my mind would stop comntemplating what features might be on the DVD. I have high hopes; it's nice to have something to look forward to at the end of the year.
Of course, it'll be a pretty penny (preorders are listing 80 pounds for it and right now). That's like $115 or so at the moment...who knows what it'll be by November. XP
