Quad's failure (didn't we chew this up last fall?)

          I think the definition of commercial failure, in this 
          instance, and its ultimate effects, rests with Townshend's 
          interpretations. He was disappointed in QUAD's failure (it 
          didn't match TOMMY's sales figures).
