Tommy the movie was the first use of a center channel. I had no idea the Tommy movie soundtrack was QS. Does anyone know if the CD is QS encoded? My CD is from Japan. I guess I need to audition it.
ABC's markings were very subtle. Lots of titles, especially on Impulse.

So sorry, Doug! It was imperitive that I apologize or you would need to change your name.
And Disclord, what I meant to say was that Tommy claimed to be the first movie using a center channel with Quad, described as quintaphonic.

I had heard, and I could be wrong, that Sansui didn't charge a royalty for the use of the QS system
when mixing a recording, but did charge for the use of the logo on the album. This was why ABC, on those albums that featured QS encoding, referred to it as "standard matrix".
The Impulse releases often had this blurb on the back of the cover.
I wonder if there were maybe different fee levels for QS usage too as some records have QS mentioned quite obviousy on the front of the album (Turnabout, Vox), some only have the QS logo on the back of the cover (Everest Olympic, Ovation), some state the use of QS encoding but no logo (Ovation), some don't mention QS but show Sansui equipment with an encoder/decoder inside the gatefold (ABC Command), and some don't mention anything at all other than quadraphonic (Ode).
I remember from back then too that there was no charge for using the QS system but there was for using the logo or specifically mentioning QS.
