Oh yes! The rear channels would be alive with it!

I would agree with my man RT. Please let's keep things civil. Everybody has a strong opinion. I'm sure things were done as they could be. Could they be better - maybe so but they are what they are. Now that you know, buy 'em or don't buy'em. But, please, let's keep things friendly around here.I'm getting sick of all this crap cluttering up this thread that's supposed to be a CIVIL discussion about 2 Quad releases on DVD-A.
If you're not satisfied with these releases, either don't buy them, or if you have already bought them, return them or sell them to somebody else who will appreciate them!
There's plenty of great things coming along the way to spend your money on, both Quad and 5.1, along with plenty of great releases that are already available, so please, for my sanity, stop the moan-fest already!!!
To me it seems while some masters are missing, there have got to be tons of quad masters that are ready to go. Universal ought to devote their time to what they have masters of rather than dick around with 8-tracks and quadradiscs. If the labels really do care about preserving quad mixes that have missing masters, why not work with us to preserve those? Its no secret that there is distribution of amateur conversions...why not work with us to allow a legitimate means of doing so? Perhaps some sort of system that allows downloads based on ownership of the stereo edition, for a nominal fee to pay for storage and bandwidth? If universal really wants to get in the business of legitimate Q8 and CD-4 conversions, there's a better way to do it than selling deluxe edition dvd-a's unmarked at a premium price.
There was an SQ CD?

Thanks for your cooperation.
..How do you solve a problem like a wobbly Anne Boleyn?

There was never an SQ release of "Arthur" or "Journey" anywhere in the world.
"Six Wives" was SQ/Q8 only, but by the time the other two albums were released, A&M had permanently switched over to CD-4.
Any talk of an SQ decode of "Arthur" is a fabrication, unless someone decoded a stereo or quadradisc with an SQ decoder, which would be pretty dumb.

Superglue the seperated bits!
DS234f on OD's blog is Six Wives decoded from SQ CD. Now withdrawn due to the commercial release. Nothing sinister, let's face it underground conversions and rips are basically piracy (of stuff they won't sell you at any price usually) and it's a good idea not to antagonise the record companies.
Which CD is this please? I'd like to get a copy and try it out. Thanks!
I've posted everything I know about it. Oxford Dickie's email address is on his blog, you could try emailing him and asking him about the SQ CD of Six Wives and what the catalogue number is. Please be nice, there's been a lot of ill will betweem him and QQ (not saying anyone's at fault, there are two sides to every story) and you don't want to be associated with that set of arguments. Really, you don't.
The artist is an idiot if he wants his material in HI res and the source is a q8 or a needledrop. period. This has nothing to do with letting us hear legacy systems, that is what conversions are all about. Why do this, when the folks at home can do just as well.
