re: Quadrophenia on VHS
G'day :-)
First of all, to everyone, thanks for providing a thoroughly enjoyable
mailing list. I'm usually a lurker to this and other groups, this is my
first posting here.

Colour me green with envy. I've been trying to get this for ages. I wish it
would be re-released in Australia - I have a copy that was issued in the early
'80s, just as VCRs were taking off here but before the introduction of hi-fi/
stereo sound. As such the sound is lousy. The cover incidentally is the group
shot of the cast standing up against a wall. The british release (cover shot of
Jimmy on his scooter) is available on Import for $55 - too much! Destined to
wait and hope I guess...
I bought my copy a few years ago, at Virgin Megastore in the city
(Melbourne), I can't recall how much I paid for it, at the time, I was
buying anything Who'ish for whatever the price as the stuff is just soo
scarce.
The video I have has a pic of Jimmy on the cover riding his scooter and
the cast shot on the back cover. I dunno if this is English version, US
or what, I'm no cluey in that department.
I would recommend you just check the video shelves of each store you go
into. I have found some amazing things in record stores just by spending
5 mins browsing before walking past. I've found rare CD's and vidoes. I
bought Tommy on video for $20 at Brashs recently!!!
Write to me privately and perhaps we can organise to swap some stuff?
