I believe the Harp Concertos Decca recording is QS, not SQ. French Decca was using QS back then, and this was probably recorded and mixed by them.

I think I read some ware that Decca did dabbled in SQ but there tech people did not like the formula of SQ and settled on QS, here is a pic of the LP`s back cover

Interesting. I didn't know they did that. I guess they found out QS delivers better compatibility with stereo than SQ, as well as a more cohesive quad effect on basic equipment.

My latest finds. The Joe Walsh plays really nice. Wish it was "So What".

Double post, deleted the pics...

Cool Tubular Bells pic, BBQ


From 76 a reissue with the EMI quad emblem? Never knew Virgin to use that emblem.

Yes! Good catch hawkeye! :upthumb

Had a bloody hard time tracking down that Send In The Clowns Quad.. I don't know if it was ever released on Q8 or in SQ LP form in other territories (gotta be a U.S pressing!) but I could only find a Discogs listing for a Greek SQ pressing for the longest time and no trace of that Greek LP ever coming up for sale anywhere.. and then stumbled upon the NZ (the matrix code on Connie's spine is the clue.. google around etc for SBPQ and you find some interesting things..) and well, as soon as I get some quiet alone time I'll be back on the Surround Master bus (big old backlog.. phew! )
