An October release is being targeted for an expanded edition of the 1973 Who double album Quadrophenia. After opting out of a Tommy tour that Roger Daltrey is doing due to his ongoing hearing issues, Townshend has elected to immerse himself in the project of readying a re-issue of the follow-up to the 1969 Rock Opera. The deluxe reissue of Quadrophenia will include some demos that did not make it onto the original release, including songs that the guitarist described as 'quirky tracks' in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. Much of the process of pulling the project together involves notes, diary entries and photos that Townshend compiled between 1971 around the time that the actual recording sessions for the album took place.
