The Who have announced details of a re-release of their 1973 rock opera, 'Quadrophenia: The Director's Cut'.
Guitarist Pete Townshend has authorised and overseen the new edition of the album, which is due to be released on November 14.
The boxset features a re-master of the original double album, Townshend’s previously unheard demos, an exclusive eight track 5.1 sound DVD, a deluxe hard-back book, previously unseen personal notes, photographs, memorabilia and other exclusive material that will be announced over the coming months.
“This 2011 revisit to The Who’s 1973 Quadrophenia recording is inspired by current and continuing interest in the project,” said Townshend.
The guitarist added that The Who would likely perform the album on a tour in 2012.
