Remember Quadrophonic sound? No? It was an early attempt to create “SurroundSound” using four speakers rather than the usual two for stereo. The equipment was costly and didn’t catch on, but for a time in the early 1970s, it was a luxury item for audiophiles. My favourite album of all time and the origin of my username, this four-sided album is The Who at their best.

The film caused a brief revival of Mod music and styles at the end of the 70s, but one element of the story that’s not so clear to anyone who’s only watched the film is: what does that title mean? The film doesn’t elaborated, but the explanation is buried in the sleevenotes to the original album. The narrative centres on a young working-class mod named Jimmy. He likes drugs, beach fights and romance, [5] and becomes a fan of the Who after a concert in Brighton, [6] but is disillusioned by his parents' attitude towards him, dead-end jobs and an unsuccessful trip to see a psychiatrist. [5] He clashes with his parents over his usage of amphetamines, [6] and has difficulty finding regular work and doubts his own self-worth, [7] quitting a job as a dustman after only two days. [6] Though he is happy to be "one" of the mods, he struggles to keep up with his peers, and his girlfriend leaves him for his best friend. [5]Heritage Music & Entertainment Auction #7006. p.155.
