4 New Quadio releases coming in June!

[barfle]

I must have played "Pick up the Pieces" in CD-4 for everyone I knew back in the '70s. It was truly a quad track that made an impression. (Sadly, as with most of my quad demos to others, no one leaped at the opportunity to get a quad system of their own)

I have people come to my house to listen to surround sound, but I don’t know of anyone who has been convinced to set up their own system. I guess they think it’s cool, but too expensive. Of course, just about everyone I know is retired, so they’re set in their ways.

The Frank Zappa has not been controlled by Warner for at least 37 years. So I would have added a title that has been added to the Warner catalog, like... um... ZZ Top.

Hope to get new Atmos and 5.1 mixes along with new quad transfers in an inevitable Apostrophe/Over-Nite Sensation box set from UMe.

It’s the 50th anniversary of those sessions this year so we should be seeing an announcement soon. Over-Nite Sensation was released in September 1973 and Apostrophe in March 74.

I love that Deaf School album!!!!

i generally want titles that were not released on Q4 so Jackson Browne is at the top of my list..then...Joni-Court and Spark, Eagles -One of these nights, and Seals & Crofts-Summer Breeze. In the first lot ''Paranoid" was my first choice by far because the Q4 was unobtanium. I had recently bought the Paranoid CD-4 and it cost me $70 plus shipping, so getting the quadio in the package deal was amazing. My guess is the next batch will include hot tuna, carly or joni, a jazz title and maybe another starship. Like you all, I have many box sets sitting around just looking pretty, so these quadios are my FIRST CHOICE in surround music. They are fantastic!

sadly there was no Quad Reel to Reel of this beauty back in the day, AWB was only ever released on Q8 tape and CD-4 LP, yet through the sandpapery cracklefest and hissy haze of ye olde Quad formats we can still enjoy what i am willing to declare one of the all-time best "Rock & Pop" Quad mixes ever, yep. this is the one, the one you truly need. (oh shit, i've done that joke already )

if ever a WEA Quad deserved the Quadio treatment, this my fellow Quad addicts, is it.

oh g'waan oh Foraging one, put a fat old drunk out of his misery this October, will ya..!?

pretty please?? with 192kHz on the top!

The Q8 was one of the first two (and so far only) I picked up. It's a great album and a great mix! And a perfect candidate for a Quadio makeover, @ForagingRhino.

i'd love a copy but it's one CD-4 i could never find in good condition back when i was picking up Quad LPs

Accounting for inflation, good sound or Hi-Fi systems (as they were once called) were expensive. We had some nice kit in the house when I was growing up, and lived in a trailer for much of it. The speakers, phono, and receiver were the nicest things my parents owned. I can't imagine how expensive getting compatible gear for quad playback (plus an extra set of good speakers) cost.

Now the entry to the hobby is much less expensive overall, and if thinking purely digital, very flexible as you can also play movies in surround off the same setup.

No "Hissing" or "Court" either.

i don't have access to my Joni Mitchell (or Carly Simon) CD-4 LPs at the moment to take pics of them but i would love Quadio BD's of them all

the ZZ Top Quad was never released on CD-4 unfortunately but still i'd love a Quadio BD of it!

 

[fredblue]

i'm such a good wee Quaddy i ran out and got some more CD-4's from storage to take a few piccies for more forum fun

these would all be super cool in Quadio form as well of course but i can't see any making it out on Blu-ray in October, maybe 1 or 2 of the bigger albums might be up for consideration down the line, who knows if the next batch do well anything's possible i guess..!?

Souther Hillman Furay Band; S/T & "Trouble In Paradise", Gordon Lightfoot "Cold On The Shoulder", James Taylor "One Man Dog", Joni Mitchell "Court & Spark" (can't find my CD-4 of "Hissing.." ), Arlo Guthrie "Last Of The Brooklyn Cowboys", Mickey Newbury "Frisco Mabel Joy", Best Of The New Seekers

Seals & Crofts; "Unborn Child", "Diamond Girl", "Summer Breeze", "I'll Play For You", Bill Wyman "Monkey Grip", Brad Miller "Sound In Motion" (maybe in the form of bonus tracks on the end of a short album?), Mystic Moods "Love The One You're With" (another long shot but it's the only Quad of theirs that DTS didn't release on DTS CD), Herbie Mann "Hold On, I'm Comin'"

Carly Simon; "Playing Possum", "S/T", "No Secrets", "Hotcakes", The Best Of Carly Simon, Bread "Baby, I'm A Want You"

I have been asking for these two artists for over 40 years too, but in the form of a Quadio BOX (a la Doobies & Chicago) !

 

[The Rang]

I love that Deaf School album!!!!

Heard the name way back but not their music.
Surprised they were released in Quad.
Need to find me some samples.

Love it but needs more Tres Hombres if Rhino is listening.

the Deaf School Quad is a fairly obscure Warner UK CD-4 LP release from late in Quad's life.

Warner in the U.S. had called it a day already but we're a bit behind the times in Blighty so Warner UK staggered on for another release or 4 before throwing in the towel in late 1976

it's got a really fun mix that's surprisingly active with round the room pans and cool stuff like that

 

[The Rang]

I found a few Deaf School tracks on YouTube.
Didn’t hear anything appealing to be honest.

ah well, at least you gave it a try
i can't think of any other examples of that kind of quirky avant garde 'Art Rock' in Quad so it's something of a curio just on that basis i suppose
