When it is supposed to arrive as a standalone disc without the extra fluff?
"fluff" is good on this set!

As an owner of the UK Q8, I was excited to hear the new high resolution release. Man I was not disappointed. As I love this album I give at a 10.
I've seen reports thet the end of 'Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' has been cut off/shortened compared to the original -- true?
My SQ LP decode seems to be complete the 'drips' at the end become a loop that fades out.
I don't think I ever heard a version where the drips fade out. I'm almost certain they're supposed to just stop.
Photo of the matrix?My SQ quad disc contains the fade out.:sun
That's no answer to the question..."fluff" is good on this set!
I don't have a copy of the SQ encoded vinyl to compare to.
Maybe the one that fades is a reissue?
The quad mix of AHM was done by Alan Parsons in 1973 (I'm pretty sure; I believe he remixed this into quad after DSOTM).
It really is an awesome mix, even for SQ. In my opinion it is one of the better SQ discs as it sounds really great even on my modest system. Even when just playing the SQ disc in stereo, the mix is much better than the stereo (which does sound kinda cramped). The quad really opens it up.
I have always wondered about one thing though. Is the US Q8 of this title comparable to the DSOTM US Q8 (matrix decoded?) or is it truly discrete?
Wasn't it done in 1970?
The notes for the early years 1970 Devi/ation tells the quad mix is from 1970 produced by Pink Floyd & Norman Smith and Parsons (+ Peter Brown) was engeneers...
1974.
So the notes in the Early Years Box are wrong? Or is it only for for stereo mix even when the credits are written for the quad mix?
From where do you know it was made i 1974?
Because:
1) by 1970 Abbey Road did not have a quad facility studio mixing desk.
2) very unlikely that a band that still had to break big would do a quad mix for... what?
3) it was mixed for quad *after* DSOTM
4) it has a 1974 date (very clear on the USA cart)

Pompeii would be the 2nd Pink Floyd surround mix produced. It would have been mixed sometime in 1973 I think. This is a very early and primitive surround mix in the long and short of things

FWIW, my Q8 of Atom Heart Mother says 1070 on the back of the slip of paper that came with the tape with a circled P before the date. I suppose the P is for patent but patent for what.
