Album Summary

Released in October 1973, Quadrophenia is the celebrated third rock opera by the English band The Who. Written entirely by Pete Townshend, the story follows a young "mod" named Jimmy in mid-1960s London and Brighton as he struggles with his identity and the clashing aspects of his personality. Featuring classic tracks like "The Real Me" and "5:15," the album is hailed as a masterpiece of the era for its complex themes, layered horn arrangements by John Entwistle, and pioneering use of synthesizers.

Record bowls are approximately 8-10” x 3-5”.
