Check out the liner notes for the song "Unused Piano: 'Quadrophenia'" from
the first Scoop album. Actually, here's the first part:
"There were several pieces I wrote for Quadrophenia that were left off the
completed album. One or two of them were incorporated into the film
sountrack album." [liner notes continue]
Personally, I like all three songs - especially Joker James. I agree that
Joker James is silly, but I find Four Faces very "serious".
