What's the Latest QUAD TAPE Added to Your Pile? Q8, Q4

[winopener]

The War one is THE one to get, gold canadian. Kudos.

The gold cartridge UA tapes aren't just nicer looking, they're far better sounding. As winopener says, the gold ones were made in Canada and they're way better than the black and white shelled ones from the US, which are oversaturated and have a frequency response that falls off a cliff at about 6kHz.

Hi. All I thought I will drop as a teaser of some of the Auction I have won this is one of many here it is..........

( Motown. Q8 QW-7022 -In Japan/Jackson Five :factory sealed new )-

 

[winopener]

THAT'S a find... and i think a first. Plenty of CD4 but no hint of any Q8 ever for the Motowns quad.
After all, if a Q4 of Imagine was unnoticed outside Japan for 46 years, no surprise these can be found. Seems that Mark Anderson will have a hard time keeping his discography updated.

 

[Q-Eight]

No shit!! Wow. Never would have guessed. I wonder if that means there's a Q8 counterpart for the Jackson 5 Greatest Hits, Supreme's Greatest Hits, Marvin Gaye / What's Going on, or even still: Temptations / All Directions!

Wow.

Now that's a BAD ASS Q8!!

 

[bigbillquad]

Hi. All

Well my............. BIG SERPRISE ..........came today in the mail these are from that same Japanese Auction I got the Jackson Five Q8 tape from, there was 3 separate bids one was for 3 Q4 tapes and 12 Stereo tapes the other 2 bids was for a total of ...... 180 Q8 TAPES & 49 stereo....... it will take me awhile to photo each one but I will and I will give them to Steelydave to do his magic and catalog them in there right place, the pictures of my stash are from the Auction just to show what was won...

 

[bigbillquad]

More from above.......

 

[winopener]

Had to quote myself:

"Seems that Mark Anderson will have a hard time keeping his discography updated."

Just wonder what was the source of such a bunch of tapes... a passed collector or some inventory boxes lost for decades?

For all the rest... speechless.

I pretty much had the same the same thought.

Congratulations Sir!

5 Elvis...

First question: from the photos isn't clear if all the 8 tracks are quad or not, the two Paul Mauriat are stereo or quad?
Second question: Fourth photo, there are two different The Godfather quad carts, one is on Paramount label? If yes it will be the true OST.

 

[fredblue]

OH WOW... BILL...!!!!!!!!!

...i believe the expression rhymes with CLUCKING BELL...!!!!!

do i spy not one but TWO Stylistics Q8 Quads??? if so.. just unbelievable.!!!!

so glad one of QQ's finest nabbed this incredible collection!!! superb job and massive congratulations!!

 

[bigbillquad]

Thanks All...

I thought that the seller on the Japanese Auction was holding back something so had my eye on this site till they dropped the bundle and I was waiting with money at hand I want say how much but about $49.00 per tape, you work it out ?????? as I said there was 28 stereo tape & 179 Quad....

PS. there is still another box to came in the mail they had to split the content up into smaller boxes because of weight...

 

[JonUrban]

Holy Freaking Crapola Farging Amazing haul there Bill. You are THE MAN. I am really proud that you are a QQ member and are posting all of these great finds here in the forum. Yikes!

Looks like the entire RCA/Victor Japanese quadraphonic roster. When you consider over the past 20 years I've probably seen THREE Japanese Q8's on eBay total, maybe less, to find that many is unreal (I know you didn't get them from eBay, but you would have thought that Japanese sellers would have sold SOME of those titles on eBay over the years, the QLP's show up quite regularly.)

Better up your insurance coverage on your house!

 

[sjcorne]

Wow! The Stylistics ones certainly are a big find. I see also the Temptations In Japan and another Motown one (Supremes in Japan maybe?). Is it safe to assume now that all the Motown quads have Q8 equivalents? Or at least all the live ones?

I would LOVE to hear the Art Blakey album and the The World Of Michel Legrand fully discrete from Q8. I have the two CD-4s and they are excellent.
