"The Who, The Mods and The Quadrophenia Connection" is a new DVD documentary from Sexy Intellectual and MVD Visual, set for a North American release November 17th, following guitarist/composer Pete Townsend's 'The Who'.
"...As far as the 'Mod' movement which had guaranteed The Who's early success, and the Pete Townsend composed musical depiction of that movement, 'Quadrophenia', the story has been twisted, complicated and misunderstood, but remains endlessly fascinating. The band, the movement, the album, the second wave, the movie and now the 30th anniversary of the latter two, all make for a story that needs to be told in depth..."
Recently unearthed archive footage from the early movement includes rarely seen performances/interviews of The Who, with contributions from Richard Barnes, mod experts Paolo Hewitt and Terry Rawlins, Acid Jazz records owner, broadcaster, Eddie Pillar, Mod revivalists 'The Chords', 'The Purple Hearts' and biographer Alan Clayson.
Music tracks include "My Generation", "Anyway, Anywhere, Anyhow", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "The Real Me", "Sea and Sand", "Cut My Hair", "I'm One", "Bell Boy", "5:15", "Love Reign O'er Me", plus vintage cuts by Georgie Fame, Booker T and The MGs, The Jam , The Chords and a whole lot more.
