I can only speak for myself, yes.

 

[oxforddickie]

guess i have to ask the question, Have you ever considered making a copy available to the wider world?

What do you mean by "wider world"?

 

[oxforddickie]

It was just a way of saying to other members. of course it's entirely up to you, just thought i'd ask if you ever considered it?

Also, how on earth did you manage to grab a copy?

[byrdman7]

There are some members here that I would consider a request. I hope it would be a P.M. or from a member that has my personal email address.


There could be 5 or 1000 members here that have this disc, I have no idea. I would rather not say where I got mine.

1. ELP Welcome Back (despite Quaradisc logo on Q8 tape cover art) never made it to CD-4. Cutting engineer personally told me they could never cut a stable CD-4 disc due to poorly engineered tapes and pointed to tape cupboard. (I will scan their 1975 business cards one of these days)

2. Chicago X test DVD-A seen on eBay, watermarked I believe. I tracked down Paul Klingberg and posted his reply here: https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/showthread.php?8175-Inquiry-About-Chicago-X-in-DVD-A
PK's 5.1 credits listed here: http://www.paulklingberg.com/post-production-credits/

3. ELP - Trilogy Q8 Cotillion QT9904(?) always seemed the absolute myth but was moved to rare section (?) in the Marc Anderson quad listing so somebody came forward with one?

The Chicago X is indeed watermarked, and is real.
It's not a great mix - it is very heavily compressed & limited hard as well.

Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" should likewise be added to the list, as that is done but unreleased.

Re Queen - the first couple of albums actually decode with QS scriptsquitenicely - avoid any of the "remastered" versions though.
I am also going to see what happens with the 24/96 versions of the first 6 albums (sadly released in stereo High Rez only).

IF it is rare- does that men it exists? Does the ELP trilogy exist anywhere? Has anyone preserved it?

 

[Quad Linda]

Actually, the thread was begun as an April fools' post. Trilogy is rumored to exist, although I've never seen one. It was on the vaporware list. As indicated at the bottom of the first post: All were mixed for surround and/or announced, but never released.
APRIL FOOL?? you decide whether or not this is laughable.

The Beach Boys - Surfs Up DVD-A. My life ain't complete until I hear that in surround.

 

[Urban Spaceman]

Wow - Captain Beyond mixed for quad? Oooooh, now that's a tease right there! I'd be the first in line to snap that puppy up!

Me too. I'd camp out overnight in line.

My heart skipped a beat when i saw Black Sabbath's - "Sabotage" CD-4 on this list.

 

[Q8]

I would sell my soul (again) for there to have been a copy of Sabotage on CD-4

YES!! I can only dream... "Sabotage (1975)" and "Sabbath, Bloody, Sabbath (1974)" .. What a missed opportunity that was..
