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?
