I am requesting any updates you would like to have added to the Classical Quad Discography including corrections.

If the title is new please include the following

1. Artist
2. Title of album
3. Record label
4. Catalog number
5. Quadraphonic format (QS, SQ, CD4, UMX)
6. Format - LP (vinyl), Q8 (Quad 8-track), QR (quad reel to reel)
since catalog numbers change w/format
7. Add a D in front of the tape format code listed above if Dolby
was used on the tape.
8. Country of origin (U.S., U.K, etc.) since catalog
numbers change with country of origin

I will create separate threads for the other discographies for updates.
 
current entry under Angel Records:

S-37158* (SQ) SERGEI RACHMANINOFF:u de Couperin; Pavane pour
une infante defunte; Alborado del gracioso; Menuet Antique; Une

Still looking :))
 
Thanks callmez for all your hard work. As much typing as you have done you must know what it feels like to be me!

And thank you oxforddickie for your contributions. Unless you are both big classical fans you know how much work it is to do this as opposed to doing the popular discography that might be of more interest.

I really appreciate the second, third or fourth set of eyes on this as it can really strain your brain. I have not found a word processing program to spell check that will not screw up the HTML formatting or not add additional font formatting and screw up the whole file.

I have added your additions and was hoping to attach the html discography to this message so you could check them, but I get an invalid format.
 
No, am just a Quadraholic :)) as you can probably tell from my blog
 
I don't know a damn thing about classical music, but I love to dig through record bins at the fleas (etc.) in search of quads and other good stuff. Your discography really did give me a lot of guidance in what I should be looking for.

Will get you some popular material soon. Doubt that I have very many to add but I can think of a couple.
