Over fifty-three years ago The Who released the British drama film, Quadrophenia; the following month, on the 2nd of November, 1979, they released the soundtrack for the film on this vinyl LP.      

The album cover is the focus of this entry so it is in the “Just the cover, ma’am!” category (link below); anyway, so much has already been written about it (links below).
