What is up with this quad mix? Is it just me, or is the fronts mono, with things missing? I'm not sure if this is laziness and they mixed in triphonic, or if there is a missing channel where the missing parts went. Any opinions on this?

timbre4 said:We can tell by the catalog number and the cartridge/label design. Are the songs listed on the "front" of the tape below the album cover artwork (Canadian) or are they relegated to the back (US). Probably has a catalog number like CAQ-31929....
My HK8+ was the cleanest player I had; there's a service issue if you have noise.

As far as things missing, it isn't anything blatantly obvious, and I didn't really notice at first since I don't have a stereo version of this title. I recently listened to an mp3 of pollution woman, and noticed a small vocal part missing, which when I listened closely to the quad tape, I could kinda hear ghosting of it. So I figure either one of the front channels got doubled and the other is missing, or it's just lazy mixing. Also, I made this notice on program 2 of the tape, I attempted a transfer which I never finished due to the hum noise on my crappy harmon kardon q8 deck, but I still have my backup of the recorded in audio, and I only pulled up program 2. I'll have to check 1 and see if that is also mono fronts. Might I be able to get a copy of your transfer for comparison purposes?
