John Entwistle would always say he played "lead bass guitar". John also played Fender Jazz bass in the early days and later in the 70's began to use a variety of custom bass guitars. He liked the sound of his bass to growl and cut through the mix. Plus he loved it LOUD
The corner of the album being cut off means it's a "cut out". That means it has been deeply discounted and cannot be sold for full price or sent back to the distributor for full price. Some companies punched a hole instead.
When this song was first recorded John Entwistle the bass player was just fooling around and after one take of him fooling around, it was so good that they stuck with it for the whole song. When most bass players hear that, they say it was literally impossible for him to be able to do that but yet he did
Lifelong Who fan here, since 1970 when I was 6 years old and I heard Tommy. Quadrophenia is the Who's masterpiece. That album contains their best playing, songwriting and concept. All of the experience they gained from playing Tommy live, and recording Who's Next, is apparent on this album. Four album sides, about 80 minutes, of continuous music with recurring themes like in a classical music suite. It begs to be experienced all in one session. A favorite I would suggest for reaction is "Music Must Change" from Who Are You. Warning: Horns
I remember buyingbthis at the record store when it first came out. I took it home and absorbed the music as I followed along with the lyrics that overlayed the brilliant black and white photography in the enclosed booklet. Top 3 album of all time for me.
A record sleeve with the corner cut off or a small hole drilled in it was called a “cutout”. It means it was returned to the record label or distributor unsold. And then the distributor re-sold it at a discount but didn’t have to pay any royalties to the band, and the band might have been charged for the unsold records against their royalties. The music business can be awful.
I saw them recently in New York. Ringo’s son Zack KILLS the drums. And Roger Daltry 78 years old sounds 100% on point. Screams and all. Simply amazing. PLUS they have an orchestra behind them, mind blowing.
There's an episode of "That 70's Show" where some of the kids are going to a concert by The Who that night. The mother asked what type of music do they play. So the kid played "Squeeze Box" on his record player. At first she liked the song because of the upbeat tempo and happy feeling of the song, until it got to the main chorus of "in and out.....and in and out....and in and out.....and in and out" and she was horrified and screamed "Oh my GODDD". Sometimes an accordion is called a "squeeze box" and when playing, you go in and out and in and out..... Squeeze Box became a huge radio hit and you still hear it today on Classic Rock FM radio stations.
A bit of trivia: It was such irony, having Keith Moon on the cover, sitting backwards in a chair marked "Not To Be Taken Away", since WHO ARE YOU was the last album he did before passing away.
I just saw your reaction video. That missing corner is a result of someone at the record company taking a circular saw to a box of records. When the record does not sell, or the record company has too much inventory, the corners were often cut off and the records sold at a discount. They were called "cut- outs". They were not imports.
AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREAT ( NEIL PEART ) 'S 😊 IDOL DRUMMER ( KEITH MOON ), PURE INSANITY FOR SURE GUYS AND THESE GUIYS MADE JUST PHENOMENAL PSYCHEDELIC ROCK MUSIC 😊
Although John owned over 30 bass guitars the make he used most for recording and live gigs were Alembic they are hand crafted custom guitars made in Santa Rosa, they started as the sound technicians for The Grateful Dead but then started making instruments.
They had the golden trifecta between 1969- 1973, Tommy, Who's Next and this, it was awesome to be alive, I was 15, the whole album(s) is gold but give "I've Had Enough" a listen.
There is a reaction channel called NicknLex who reacted to the entire Quadrophenia album in one sitting. When it started, neither of them were familiar with The Who (except for Pinball Wizard and Who Are You). By the end of the album, both were in tears as they picked up the meaning of the album on the first take. Lex had tears streaming down her eyes towards the end of Love Reign O'er Me. Would be great if Reaction In Action reacted to Quad in its entirety!
Entwistle was the idol of Chris Squire Of yes as well as the rush bassist for a reason. According to Townshend Moon and Entwhistle plass solo whilst the guitar do the Rythm
If you guys decide to get QUADROPHENIA on vinyl: be wary; the first pressings of the original release have the vocals of this song WAY LOW in the mix ( meaning barely audible), something that was not corrected until later pressings...
To understand the *real* Who you HAVE to watch them live, it's in the band's DNA. Amazing Journey/Sparks or Young Man Blues, live performances in 1969/70 (Isle of White or Tanglewood). Watching Keith Moon drum during his peak is something everyone should experience. Quadrophenia is best in the studio though.
Many people say your drummers favorite drummer is Neil Peart. Neil Peart's favorite drummer was Keith Moon. Also, Geddy Lee idolizes John Entwistle on bass.
Quadrophenia is about a mentally ill teenager in the 1960s (in-story he calls it schizophrenia-adjacent, but by modern standards he's more bipolar); he's the one asking who can see 'the real me.' The whole album's worth a listen.

When i bought it in 73 at 13 i did not like the horns . Tetting older horns and sax are just fantasi . Entwhistle startes his careeer playing horns as a child before turning to bass

John Entwistle played both the bass and the horns on this. The mighty Who always rocked 🎸
John Entwhistle, greatest bass player I’ve ever seen.
I can't listen to anymore your constant stopping and starting is just to much to handle just play the song for god sake

Yes, John Entwistle is the GOAT of Bass Guitarists.

I Remember When I First Bought This Album. 1980. Loved The Who Ever Since.✌🏻😬🏴

Growing up in the 70s in high school we learned that you listen to the entire albums, not singles.
Pete Townshend plays a lot of rhythm but he can leed. Too. He is a master of guitar
John Entwistle was always considered the best bass player ever and he was the idol of Geddy Lee from Rush
Great critique of this song guys. Still one of my 5 Who favorites

Their pinnacle. Who’s Next, a close second.

And don't forget that little old live album, Live at Leeds. Not bad 😅
Quite right, I stand corrected.@@whofan1967
You HAVE To Listen To The Whole Album In 1 Hit. It Flows. Great Reaction.✌🏻😬🏴

Thanks For That Sir……I’ll Give It A Look.✌🏻😬
It could be a Gibson Thunderbird as he used one about that time

The bass plays lead in thus song..... Pete's guitar is all rythem
"NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY"
The Who at their very best! Incredible song, really great album.
Don’t stay away so long!
U need to see them Live!!! Concert for New York 2001. Last US appearance. For the OX
Animals track 1 & 5 same tune but has a variation in lyrics, if just slight.

The horns were John Entwhiltle's idea....

It was a famous senator wife who demanded to sensor and put on warnings 😊
Killer rhythm section...probably Top #1 who song for me...
"I can see for miles and miles...." "See me, feel me, touch me, heal me..." "Can you see the REAL me?"
Sensing a pattern, there...
What should we react to next by The Who?
Pinball Wizard
Squeeze Box
Won't Get Fooled Again
The next song after this one on the album is theme song from the album. The song is also called Quadrophenia.
"Young Man Blues" at The Isle of Wight 1970

Quadrophenia is about a mentally ill teenager in the 1960s (in-story he calls it schizophrenia-adjacent, but by modern standards he's more bipolar); he's the one asking who can see 'the real me.' The whole album's worth a listen.
Corner cut off usually means an import.

These two guy haven't heard of reactions after the song it's more about them than the song
far too much yapping
