I've been listening to this quad reel over the past few days and it's a great album that I have ignored over the past few decades, probably due to burn out, like most classic albums from my youth. Still, this one holds up well.
The quad mix doesn't hit you over the head, but it's got a real nice surround field, and though I don't hear much discrete 'only-in-one-speaker' stuff, I didn't expect that from a live recording.
I have not heard the newer mix from the BluRay, but to me this mix is fine the way it is. I give it an '8'. And I agree with clg1977 above. Only three posts (now 4) for this classic album and classic quadraphonic release?
Does anyone have the story of how the quad mix got the extended version of "Stormy Monday" with the harmonica solo. It's strange that it was edited out of the stereo and subsequent DTS 'quad' mix, but is there in the original quad.
And why wasn't it in the DTS mix? Wasn't that created from the quad mix? Very strange. Tad?
