QUADIO DOOBIES - Exclusive First Look at the box

[4-earredwonder]

We kids will all respectfully stay off of your lawn, Jon. (Except late at night, when we're crouching beneath your window, trying to get a peep of that new box set.)

BESIDES, URBAN'S SUBURBAN QUADrant IS DOOBIE TRAPPED

Awesome looking set Jon, looking forward to it.

wouldn't that be "Doobie Trapped"?

 

[Scott65]

In anticipation, I am listening to this in through the Surround Master V2. Very nice separation.

Who Are These Doobie Brothers? Are they like the Jonas Brothers?

 

[QuadGar]

Well said Jon!
Thank you Steve Woolard and all those involved with this Doobies project!

More like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers!!

 

[GabeL]

Thanks for all the images and information Jon. I had already preordered this a few days back, but now I'm much more excited to get it in a couple/few months!!

I have "The Captain And Me" on DVD-A, and it'll be interesting to compare the two.

How cool - now this is a real preview and not masked in tape like the new 2021 Mercedes or other cars for 2021. This box set looks carefully prepared in design and finish-can't wait. Thank you very much!

 

[bktouchstone]

Thanks for the big reveal Jon. Looks great AND it looks like they will fit nicely on my shelf. And thanks for your comments, it's a reminder to me that positivity about others is the best worldview. No, it's not a conspiracy. No, "they" are not all greedy. A lot of folks really care about and have passion for the artistry of what they do, not just about the money. Seek them out and encourage them, and don't feed the monsters, neither the internal ones, or the external ones.

Thanks Jon for taking the time and posting the pictures. It looks great! September is sure going to be an terrific month.

I am not a big fan of the pre-Michael McDonald Doobies and was not planning on getting this (among many other new releases that I am DEFINITELY not interested in)
BUT
This post has changed my mind and I will succumb!

Thanks Jon...

I cannot count the number of times I’ve succumbed to making unplanned purchases because of the enthusiasm on this forum. I’ve resisted... hemmed and hawed...and caved! This is not the place to hang out if one is a Quadraholics Anonymous member.

(Not this Quadio, mind you. I bought it as soon as the Rhino site cooperated.)

Here are some rough screen shots of the menus on my living room system. (Sorry for the herringbone on Captain. There is still a lot of recovery around here from the storm)

The menus are clean and simple. Once you put the disc in it goes right to the screens below which display a track list and the audio choice. It's nice to see that the quad is the top choice and the default because after all, this is a QUADIO!!!

TOULOUSE STREET

THE CAPTAIN AND ME

WHAT WERE ONCE VICES ARE NOW HABITS

STAMPEDE

OMG, that Toulouse Street graphic spread across the whole TV screen is amazing!

not sure I want to look at a UHD shot of John Hartmann’s massive thigh on my 65” screen for 40 minutes though.

This is when I will really appreciate the "audio only" option on my Oppo, LOL.

Thanks to everyone at Rhino for believing that these historic quad albums are a viable option for us new and old lovers of the format.


And it goes double for Jon , Ryan , all the moderators , and members of QQ that support these efforts for everyone's quadraphonic benefit.

Well done !

It is sort of a PG-13 screen shot I guess, but since it's about the music, start the play, turn off the screen... and "Listen To The Music!"
