Can't help you there mate. But there was also a fairly small mod revival around the time The Who record came out, but I'm not sure if it was filmed. It was definitely photographed though. Personally. I know this is heresy to some (perhaps many) but I preferred the photographs that came with the record of the several years later film. Still I'm from the Ham Yard, Guy Stevens' school.

Default 1st Quadrophenia - Mod Revival ?
Yes, there were a few faces running round the West End club scene, sorry I can't be more specific. For some reason Cherry's in Wardour Street springs to mind and also that club upstairs on Oxford Street (south side) near Tottenham Court Road whos name I cant remember. Also keep in mind print media was very easily manipulated back in those days - might have all been a Quadrophenia PR scam, but I didn't think so at the time.

On one of the videos for that film (4Front Video I think!! ) at the end of the film it showed some stills from the film and I believe this was also on one of the dvds as well.
There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.
