I'm picking up some buzz that MFSL is going to release the first two Chicago quads in the near future, format unknown, maybe featuring only the SQ tapes, maybe also with the 4-channel tapes. None of this is confirmed.
III, VI, VII (!!!!!!), VIII (!!!!), IX (Greatest Hits would need a nice remaster). I'd buy them all!!!Well,
I would not buy CTA, II or V since I have retail surround versions of those already. I still feel violated by Rhino (but glad I got CTA at retail price). What QUADS are left of real interest after that? X? Blech!
That would be terrific if it comes to pass! Thank you for the info.
I imagine MFSL have seen the success of Audio Fidelity's Surround SACD programme (apparently the B,S&T 5.1 is sold out already and another run is being pressed!) and feel they now have an opportunity to get in on the action too.
Wouldn't it be ironic if all these years down the line SACD were to make a comeback into the rock & pop surround market?
"Watch this space", I guess!
Well,

This would be great news when and if confirmed. Any Terry Kath era Chicago I would purchase. I've already pre-ordered the other MFSL discs.
It's certainly a QQ scoop if true. I haven't heard this rumor anywhere else.
I'm also wondering about the 4X Oversampling that MoFi was to show at CES. No news on that either.
Time to ask about this on the MoFi Facebook page, perhaps ?
Uh oh.. You don't think the 4x bit could have been misheard on the ol' grapevine.. or Quad-DSD got fuzzled up in chinese whispers as Quadraphonic..?
Actually I just found a pre-CES article that says the first 3 MFSL 4x upsampled SACDs are The Band's Last Waltz, Love and The Pretenders. So it sounds like they may already be using the 4x technology on released SACDs.
On the Quad Multichannel SACDs by Chicago on MFSL rumor, still haven't heard anything on that.
Well, I know that, since I categorized them all as "surround", but then you knew I knew that, right? Very satisfied with both II and V in 5.1 and would not rebuy as 4.0, but after having my memory jumpstarted, I suppose III, VI and VII would be worthwhile.
