Description
Book SynopsisThe Who & Quadrophenia offers a generously illustrated deep dive into all aspects of one of the most popular rock albums of all time.
Trade Review“Everything about the writing, recording, and touring of Quadrophenia—as well as its lengthy afterlife and how it fits into the Greater Who History—is explored in Martin Popoff’s The Who & Quadrophenia. The ultra-prolific Popoff, as usual, leaves no detail unexplored in his latest in a series of high-quality coffee table books.” -- Bob Ruggiero * Houston Press *
