I am The Deckchair Man

Quadrophenia Dreams #1

I was flicking through my LP's last night and I rediscovered my US original version of Quadrophenia. I opened up the sleeve and to my delight the booklet still seemed in pretty good nick. No sooner had I turned the first page than I was transported back to the bus home from school and a conversation that went something like this.

Al: "Do you like The Who"
Me: "What Pinball Wizard and all that? Hippies!"
Al: "No, not that stuff. They were a Mod band"
Me: "A what band?"
Al: "A Mod band. A band liked by Mods"
Me: "Really?"

And that was how it all began.
