2K Club - QQ Super Nova
I'm not sure where this entry should go so feel free to move this thread......
Well here goes:
I recently found several quad lps in a thrift store and came across this oddity:
Richard Strauss Don Juan, Dances from Salome, Till Eulenspiegel and Rosenkavalier Walzes performed by the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra Thomas Schippers conductor.
This is on Turnabout QTV-S 34666
This is a QS encoded disc. The thing is I already own a regular quad copy of this lp but the one I found has a silver sticker on the cover stating dbx encoded disc with the number SS-3005.
The record label is also changed from the regular quad version, it has the dbx logo on the bottom and below the record number appears this warning: Use only with dbx decoder.
I have never seen a dbx encoded record before and wonder how many quad records were encoded this way.
I also wonder how this would be played, were there 4 channel dbx decoders made?
My old Yamaha cassette deck has dbx noise reduction built in so I guess I could tape this record then play back with dbx but I would be adding more noise to the playback.
Anyways, I would welcome information from anyone who knows anything about these DBX encoded records and how they can be decoded for 4 channel playback.
I will be looking thru my record collection for other items that don't appear in the discography. For instance I have a Canciones Y Danzas de Espana appearing on the Peters Int'l label that is an unmarked SQ recording , identical to the European release which is quad labeled. There is also a CD reissue of a later release by the the same group, Hesperion XX that is SQ encoded like the original vinyl release.
I have also picked up some late Angel classical records which bear a double box logo instead of the old double circle and omit the SQ label and am wondering if these might be unmarked SQ recordings. A Mahler symphony number 9 conducted by Klaus Tennstedt and Mendelssohn 4&5 conducted by Andre Previn come to mind. The record numbers begin with SZB and SZ respectively.
Anyways there certainly appears to be more out there to be rediscovered....
