Listened to the Q4 of America / Holiday last evening. Not impressed! The rear channels often were near silent (looked at the meters & had to check the rears were even active) on some of my favorite songs with only some heavy reverb/echoey background voc. Ooooing and Ahhhing. Some tracks
were a more involved but it sounds as if they really didn't even try to make a true Quad mix. Too bad as this album is very good...I guess you can play it on your 4-track r2r and get about the same sound, which in stereo is very good.
Maybe the engineers :ugham: thought they weren't gonna let this "quad thing" get in the way of the training they got in mixing mono/stereo sound.
I wouldn't break the bank trying to get a copy of this one, glad that I didn't pay much for it either.
