The Who’s Quadrophenia to be remastered and rereleased

Guitarist Pete Townsend plans to include previously unreleased material from 1973 recording sessions.

Guitarist Pete Townshend is working on a deluxe box set remastered edition of The Who’s popular rock opera Quadrophenia, first released in 1973, reports Gibson.

"I am shut away in my home studio at the moment working to restore the demos of Quadrophenia," Townshend wrote in an official blog post on Wednesday (June 1).

"I am really enjoying this work… My demos are among the best I’ve ever done, and include some real quirky tracks that didn’t make it onto the final album."

Aided by the band’s sound engineer Bob Pridden and record producer Jon Astley, Townshend hopes to have the box set finished and available to purchase by the fall.

"This package, due in October if all goes well, is another Live at Leeds and Hull – or even another Lifehouse Chronicles – in the making. You are going to love it. I hope so, because I am missing this summer sunshine to get it completed on time."
