All the tapes were to hand some of them were in very bad condition some of them didn't work at all
But I but I also a lot of stuff had already been
Digitized it turned out that I had to do it again.
That's analog tapes had to be
Copied again because the original digitization was
Poor quality it was done 15 years ago.
You know I was taking
all of the demos for
Quadrophenia my home demos were done on an 8-track machine and through this desk
Different a track machine, but I got this desk
back I sold it to Ronnie wood and I got it back from him and this is the desk that I use for most of
the demos and
so I could get the tapes out put them on there and play them back just as they were back then and
And then I would put them into a computer and then start to to cook them up
I could have done it in an analog way, but I knew that my ears really aren't good enough at my stage of life
You know I'm 66 and I've been on a rock stage all my life, so my ears are not great.
I
Knew that there would be forensic
engineering to follow and
Happily Myles Clark who did the forensic engineering didn't find much that was wrong
I found a fabulous app which allowed me to run my tape machines from my iPhone and
Doing the drums, but I forgot to turn off the phone
I'm on so can you hear that phone?
I said no.
I can't hear that phone anyway
We strip it down to one track on which the phone is like it just about here
I said to him how the fuck did you hear that in the midst of all this music?
But that's why he's a forensic engineer that was really fun doing that work.
I really loved doing that
I kind of really got into it
Quadrophenia was meant to be the first
rock album
dedicated to
quad sound after
Dark side of the moon Yeah But
Quadrophenia was meant to be a bit of an advance on that in that the different musical themes that related to Jimmy's facets will come
Out of different speakers and at the end at the moment when he finds himself
They would all come together in the middle in a big explosion
I had done a surround mix of Tommy a few years back, and I was tempted to do the surround sound myself
but I'm glad I didn't because Bob Pridden [G] and
Richard Whitaker, that's the guy's name his associate did a such an amazing job
It's when I listened to the tracks the six tracks that they did in here [N] on these five speakers
I just kind of went to heaven.
I've never heard the music sound as great
I'm not quite sure why I decided only to do six tracks.
It was my decision.
I felt that I
Surround mix the quadraphonic mix of quadrophenia was something still to be realized in a sense
I put it off and now I regret putting it off and I'm now trying to deliver it Q cloud was
My answer to we can't get everything in the box
so what we're hoping to do is to create a website a server which people that buy the album one of a password to and
They can go and look and indeed download and print if they've got a printer I can afford the ink PDFs print
Facsimiles of lyrics photographs diaries all of that stuff where in on the package you'll see excerpts of it
But you'll see you know more more original lyrics more and possibly music
You know some of the demos that fell off the end of my collection
Because I thought they weren't good enough or they just had faults, you know
I'll stick them up there some of the outtakes from the studio albums that the who did
But chiefly if we can find a way to deliver it and find a way for people to be able to play it at home
the entire
Quadraphonic mix of the whole album.
It's not as complicated as it sounds, but you need a piece of wire
It's not about wanting more better quality particularly.
It's about really wanting
the experience to be more Visceral
More more like a live event
For me as somebody who's hearing has deteriorated
Over the years five one gives me back
That sense of you know a lot of detail in the sound a lot of information
My brain has more to more information.
I feel for me with as I said with my hearing as it is
It feels like music used to sound like
But I but I also a lot of stuff had already been
Digitized it turned out that I had to do it again.
