The Who / “Quadrophenia: Live in London” box offers 5.1 studio album

In June this year The Who will release Quadrophenia Live In London a 2013 concert of their 1973 album performed in its entirety (along with some greatest hits). The release will be available on DVD and Blu-ray (both with 5.1 audio) as well as a two-CD version.

Of interest to Who fans and collectors will be a special 5-disc deluxe metal box set version of Quadrophenia Live In London which gathers all the formats together (Blu-ray, DVD and 2CD) and (wait for it…) adds a hi-res 5.1 Surround Sound blu-ray audio disc of the entire 1973 studio album. This is the very first timethis has been released – the 2011 Director’s Cut box set only offered a small selection of Quadrophenia tracks in 5.1. Extras in this new box include a six-inch Mod Headlight sticker, a Mod Headlight button, and a booklet with liner notes and photos, all housed in a 10-inch metal container embossed with the movie-inspired, iconic, Mod bullseye logo painted on a Vespa SG scooter headlight.

The good news is that if you don’t want all that paraphernalia, the 1973 studio version of Quadrophenia in 5.1 (via blu-ray audio) is also available separately.

Quadrophenia Live in London (in all formats) and the Quadrophenia 1973 studio album 5.1 blu-ray audio are released on 9 June 2014. Virtually no UK pre-orders at the moment, but this will be updated as and when.
