Thanks for the kind words. Yes, much left on the cutting room floor, but they did let me run much longer than originally planned because they really liked the concept. Nothing there that all of you people didn't already know, but a decent introduction for people who didn't even know the format existed anymore.
Now that it has published I can add some stuff that didn't make the final cut, and take questions if you've got any. To me the most fascinating part was Cheryl Pawelski's comments. She went through all of Rhino's vault and says that for every quad mix that was released there was at least one or more mixes that didn't get released -- that is, the vault is full of quad mixes that never saw the light of day even back then. She was unable to offer up titles, and had a few suggestions of what she'd like to see next (Aretha's greatest hits? I don't have my notes in front of me).
Alan Parsons still sorely disappointed he wasn't consulted on the DSOTM 5.1. He's still working on some experimental 5.1 mixes, trying to get some record labels interested, including a 5.1 of "Year of the Cat."
Scheiner's dislike for quad was a surprise after his deep immersion in 5.1 since the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" disc.
The reception of CTA and the sales seem to have Rhino very pleased. Here's hoping it opens the flood gates. JW Guercio is very eager to see later Chicago quad mixes come out as he had many more tracks to work with (many of you have heard these, I'm sure).
