Something similar has happened to Nirvana's Nevermind, the Rolling Stones' Some Girls and the albums of the Smiths. Depending on where you shop, it'll cost you between £70 and £105. Quadrophenia has been expanded to four CDs and a DVD, a poster, a facsimile 7in single of 5:15, two books and sundry other ephemera and memorabilia. Then again, you don't have to be 66 to be a little taken aback by the latest trend in what record labels call "catalogue exploitation".Įven by the standards of a music industry that's been pumping out reissues and box sets for more than 30 years, there's something fairly startling about the current glut of super-deluxe box sets: their size, their contents, their price. Y ou could, if you so desired, detect a slight tone of surprise when Pete Townshend says, about the latest reissue of his 1973 rock opera Quadrophenia: "The record company and book publishers are still paying me good money to pick through my own underwear drawers and find unworn socks." Perhaps that's because, as Townshend reminds you, he's 66: old enough to remember a time when rock'n'roll was widely thought of as a passing fad, not something that was going to be extensively curated in the next century.
