Title: Could And Should Have Been Better
Review: First time I heard this album was in 1980 and thus became the soundtrack of my teen years and young adult life. So when I discovered Quadrophenia was getting the box treatment, I was moderately excited at this release though proceeded with caution. Took a chance and purchased the director's cut on Amazon and upon listening was terribly dissapointed. No where in sight was the OG 1973 mix. The demo discs had Pete add drums played by some unknown to his beautiful demo recordings. Why, who knows. Doesn't add anything. If not taking the time to remaster the OG 73 mix (or at least presenting the entire 96 mix in 5.1) at least a complete live performance from 73, warts and all, could have been considered. Packaging was OK but overpriced considering the Floyd immersion sets are a little nicer and much cheaper. 2 stars for the music, but could easily have been 4 if more considerate.
Is the review positive or negative?
