Quadrophenia on VHS



Hi all..

This may be a well known fact for some of you already,
but I wanted to tell those that did not know -

The Quadrophenia movie is available on VHS ( I bought
my copy last night in one of those video stores in the
mall )

I was just looking around in the store when the idea  
to check on the availability popped in my head.

Anyway, it was 19.95. This is one of my all time favorite
movies and I was happy to have found it.

I did have a copy on an old "video disc" that I bought
about 1982-83, and was not in the best shape to play
any longer.

Peeve: The cover of the tape box has a still of Sting on
his "GS Scooter", and the selling point on the box was
"STING! In his FILM DEBUT!", making you think that Sting
has a major leading role, what, do we see him for more than
5 minutes ? We see him in the dance hall, and we see him
giving Jimmy a cigarette, and we see him paying his fine,
and then we see him as the bellboy! 

I would have put the picture of Jimmy (like the cover of the
CD) or the group picture from the middle of the album (where
you see 4 Jimmys in the group).
 
I would not have made Sting the selling point. Anyone who is
looking for Quadrophenia in the store would more than likely
know that Sting is a bit player in the film, and would have
liked the Jimmy picture...

Anyway, not real important stuff, just a peever.....hee hee..
