Quadrophenia Uk Limited Edition Slipcase Steelbook Limited to 2000 Copies Blu-ray Region free

Amazon lump all reviews of the same titled product together unfortunately which means you are reading loads of meaningless comments that are NOT pertaining to this particular version...this review is of the USA Region 1 blu-ray Criterion special edition. You will need a multi-region blu-ray player capable of playing back region 1 titles to view this release in the U.K. A multi region DVD player is of no use so please check your equipment playback capability carefully before purchase as many so called multi-region U.K. blu-ray players only have DVD multi playback not blu-ray as well.There are many comments concerning the poor grainy U.K. hi definition transfer on Amazon. Neither the USA or U.K. blu-ray releases have been digitally computer repaired. This means that although colour grading has taken place on this release to fix the washed out dull previous prints, there are still some scenes that have an evident grainy picture and some minor print blemishes such as scratches and dirt. The colour and soundtrack on the USA version are far superior to the previous U.K. DVD releases. Also the American version has around 2 hours of extras and a 40 page booklet which are not included on the U.K. blu-ray.There are 2 original 1960’s tv documentaries on Mods, an original BBC programme from 1979 about Quadrophenia plus other interviews and the booklet compared to the standard vanilla U.K. version which just has some minor fillers that were on the previous DVD release. If you have a machine capable of playing region 1/A discs from America this is definitely the version to go for.

These were my days, scootering to work, scootering to Hastings in the barmy summer months, in the late sixties. My Vespa Sportique 150 never let me down, 2/0 for a weeks petrol mix. However, although there was some rivalry with motor cyclists, I never saw it like was is portrayed. The clashes shown in Brighton was not local. I belonged to Brighton scooter club for some time, It was only the Londoners who came looking for trouble. They were banned from Eastbourne, and cops would turn them back before they got to town. Its a good flash back to my youth of Seeing Austin 1100 and commer and mini vans, and fish and chips for half a crown. I found it a bit over the top with, pills and violence and foul language that wouldn't be heard in Sussex. The guy who ended up working in a hotel, had a gorgeous Lambretta, I certainly would not have wasted it on driving off Beachy Head, just cos the other guy didn't work on his manners or turning his life around and his supposed girlfriend he was peed off with. Mixed feelings about this but still huge nostalgia for me as semi mod of the time. 🤔

Fire up your Lambretta, pick up your suit and down a hand full of blues as you head out to the clubs. This movie is a close representation of the 60's Mod scene fuelled by Pete Townsend's concept album Quadrophenia. Top performances by a young an fresh UK cast in gritty look at Britain which is in turns funny, emotive and heartbreaking as we follow Jimmy through life as he tried to find his place in the world and sense in life as he clings to being a Mod as a balance and finds that it is all an illusion and the film heads towards a powerful climax. The second disc is packed with some great extras that will flesh out the experience for you - a classic movie

Received this last Tuesday. Very pleased with picture quality and subtitles. Enjoyed the film as well. We see a young Mark Wingett (The Bill), and Kate Williams (Love Thy Neighbour). The story revolves round Jimmy, a mod who's personality is split into four parts (hence the title Quadrophenia) who obviously has problems. We see a young "Sting" as well.It is a real bonus to get the second DVD with extras, even though there are extras on the first one.This should not be compared with "Tommy" (which I also have on vinyl and film) as the two "Rock Operas" are totally different. Saying that, it is a must for Who fans, particularly those who remember the late 60's and early Seventies as I do!
