One of those projects, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lifehouse</span>, was never completed, though many of its songs formed the bulk of their 1971 album <span style="font-style: italic;">Who't Next</span>. The other, <span style="font-style: italic;">Quadrophenia</span>, was as down-to-earth as the multimedia <span style="font-style: italic;">Lifehouse </span>was futuristic; issued as a double album in 1973, it eventually became esteemed as one of the Who's finest achievements, despite unavoidable initial unfavorable comparisons to <span style="font-style: italic;">Tommy</span>. Including material from several dozen interviews and mountains of rare archival coverage and recordings, it's the definitive account of this fascinating period in the Who's career, which saw both some of their greatest triumphs and, in <span style="font-style: italic;">Lifehouse</span>, rock's most spectacular failure.<br> </big></font></p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><big>Click on the links below to read a few excerpts from the book:<br> </big></font></p> <ul> <li> <font face="Arial,Helvetica"><i><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></i><a href="whoexc1.html">At the Record Plant: The Who's First Attempt to Record <span style="font-style: italic;">Lifehouse/Who's Next</span> in New York, March 1971</a></font></li> <li><a href="whoexc2.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Playing <span style="font-style: italic;">Lifehouse </span>Live: The Story Behind the April 26, 1971 Concert on the Bonus Disc for the <span style="font-style: italic;">Who's Next </span>Deluxe Reissue</font></a></li> <li><a href="whoexc3.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica">Behind the Scenes at the Beginning of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Quadrophenia </span>Sessions</font></a></li> <li><a href="whoexc4.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><span style="font-style: italic;">Quadrophenia</span>: The Stories Behind the Album's Sound Effects, Cover Design, and Booklet</font></a></li> <li><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><a href="whoauthorintro.html">Author's introduction to <span style="font-style: italic;">Won't Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia</span></a><br> </font></li> <li><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><a href="nevison.html">Q&A of Interview Done for <span style="font-style: italic;">Won't Get Fooled Again </span>with <span style="font-style: italic;">Quadrophenia </span>engineer Ron Nevison</a></font></li> </ul> <font face="Times New Roman,Times"><font size="+1">To buy </font></font><i style="font-weight: bold;"><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><a href="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=richieunterberge&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1906002355&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr"><i>Won't Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia</i></a></font></i><font face="Times New Roman,Times"><font size="+1"><b>:</b></font></font> <font face="Times New Roman,Times"><font size="+1"><i><br> <br> </i></font></font><i><font face="Arial,Helvetica"><a href="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=richieunterberge&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=1906002355&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr"><i>Won't Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia</i></a></font></i><font face="Times New Roman,Times"><font size="+1"> is widely available at both independent booksellers and chain bookstores throughout North America.
