If it was, they'd be bragging about it by now.

Muscle is a bit underrated imho - it's good solid Coop album and with the quad mix included it's an easy choice for me....hit the "add to cart" button.

Fourth one always gets me, Crazy Little Child. I'll wait for reviews before buying but this is classic as far as I'm concerned.

Looks like quad.

Looks like Amazon cancelled it.

So I would say AC and JC for sure.

I think there's a couple of stereo SACDs before those two. Don't remember what they are.

The XMAS song SACD is shipping to members as of today. I told them mine can wait.

The pre-order for the AF release of Loggins & Messina's 'Sittin' In' on Amazon.com now shows 'unavailable' with a 2025 release date, and doesn't show up via Amazon's search. I guess it's either been pushed back or cancelled.

Soundtracks of Cruising & Close Encounters movies.?

The advance word I got on this title (last Sunday) is that the original tapes sound amazing, stereo and of course the QUAD! Everybody seems excited about this one including AF.

Where is there anything about a Sittin' In SACD?
Don't see it on Amazon.

Have the Colors QR conversion. We'll see if the new release makes it shine.

As for Muscle -- would you believe all this time I thought only my cardboard LP sleeve had the spillage on it? What a maroon. Good album with one terrific track -- The Man with the Golden Gun. Not just a favorite Coop cut, but one of the best Bond themes ever. Passed over in favor of some forgotten Lulu steamer, of course. Crank it up and blow it out in quad!

Add to cart.

As a teenage delinquent, I mean good kid, my favorites were Big Apple Dreamin' and Never Been Sold Before. Now so many years later I like Working Up a Sweat and the title track more.

So there are four right there I like a lot, add Golden Gun, Crazy Child, Hard Headed Alice, and the others and you have a really strong album. There are no duds one must skip over here imo.

Throw on 4-Channel Discreet Quadraphonic Sound and this one will be my favorite 4.0 from AF so far.

I discovered something the other night I was playing the Earth Wind & Fire SACD, and it sounded really nice. But it was not until I turned it up a bit loud did it open up and really shine. So I am thinking that this Muscle of Love SACD is going to need to be played loud the first time I play it. Loud enough that one would think I'm trying to break my apt. lease.

My stereo just does not have good enough speakers that they sound great at low volume. Bit they do handle loud levels with no breakup at all.

I'm not putting it on until I can kick back and blast away the clouds.

Import CD's link looks flaky.
In any case, it's secondhand.
The horse's mouth, Audio Fidelity, shows nothing on it.
I'd think if there were anything coming, they'd offer a pre-order right on the site.

Importcds tends to wait until sooner to the release date to post detailed information...in sharp contrast to amazon which tends to post things that lack details and prices that are more "ball park" estimates than real prices

Agree,

Had the CD-4 QUAD BOX back in the quad hey days, and I always enjoyed the quad mix.One of the better WB quad mixes.

well yes it is a stain but it not spillage per say, cooper albums always have a play on words or images, being this is a G rated site let's just say what your referring to has to do with a " Muscle of Love"
