BRYHNH producer and host Perry Bax has created a full composite of Quadrophenia that encompasses Quadrophenia from its inception to this week's remastered release.
And for the first time ever, a lossless BRYHNH version (flac) is
available now, by right clicking (Windows) or control clicking (Mac) HERE then selecting "save as."

Well done Mr Perry man! A very interesting journey through a much loved album. Thank you! Until I save up for the new Directors Cut box set this is an ample stand in. Even then this is a cult collectors piece for any Oo fan. :)

Perry, great job! I remember thinking years ago how cool it would be to incorporate the King Biscuit Flower Hour concert of The Who into their original recording, and you have brought that to life and then some. Keep up the awesome work!
Perry responds:
I first recorded this King Biscuit Flower Hour show onto a Maxell C120 cassette (I still have it in the drawer next to my right elbow in Perry's World) in 1974, and have kept up on looking for better recordings since. And I think you will find this to be the best sounding, but more importantly, most complete version of the Quadrophenia portion of the show. The never did play it straight thru live in 1973. Just too difficult to pull off live with the level of pre-recorded tracks that needed to be manipulated by poor Bob Pridden (The Who's monitor mixer) who Pete quite often "made a straight man of." Listen closely to Pete giving him "what for" before the start of "Doctor Jimmy." Legendary . . .

Had some iTunes issues so I burned the lossless version to a DVD first and played that through clean and flat the first time Wednesday afternoon prepping Thanksgiving dinner. Outstanding, but Track 23 Love Reign was exceptional. Played it again with some EQ that works for my house and it is just Brilliant. Took me back to jr year of high school after being sent home for blowing up the science lab with Bob Hill. At the time we thought the 8-track and Jensen speakers were so cool. Nice little surprise, just before Christmas Mr. Bax.

One of The Who best pieces of work and this blend of live, original, etc works brings me back to Anaheim Stadium March 1976. Wish I had seen the 1973 show. Nicely done, thank you!

Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best…

Perry, you are The Man. I couldn't have wished for more. Bravo!

Would you be kind enough to list the sources and dates (for the live tracks) for each track?
Thanks a million for this... amazing stuff!!
Perry responds:
The live show tracks are the Quadrophenia section, from December 4, 1973, The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA

This has alot of the Who's live broadcast on King Biscuit - something we used to hear in the 70's on KQRS in Mpls... I wish I still had my old cassettes of that and the live Floyd they played (original club first playing of OOTDs). Sigh - thanks for bringing back excellent memories, Perry!
Perry responds:
Robert, BRYHNH has your back. This contains the most complete and best sounding version of the center Qudrophenia section of the 12.4.73 show from Philly that most often King Biscuit only played edited versions of. I do still have my old cassette of that broadcast (a Maxell UD C-120, directly in front of me on the studio desk, which is not the source used on this show,) and have quite frequently played other selection from that show on BRYHNH. So bottom line, I got you covered if you never turn up your old cassette and then some.
Oh, and I am relatively sure I have that version of "One Of These Days", as well. If memory serves me, that was originally broadcast on the BBC.
Stay tuned . . .
:-)

Oh, yes. Another great compilation. I had the pleasure of seeing The Who circa early 1966 at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, Wales. They were superb then and they are superb now.
