Who knows what they’ll pull out of the bag next; I just know I’m getting itchy for more, and figure it’s about time to feed m’ Quad fix 🤤 💉
It's been on my mind as well as of late. Japan 7" series as well I wonder what will be next, More Santana? Or will they surprise us with a Jazz / Fusion title out of the blue? Will DV come up with one of the true evergreen blockbusters, those albums with a major hit or two, sonics that got MFSL on the case in the US, and a sweet quad mix. Maybe another Universal controlled title, or a Warner title would be a surprise wouldn't it be! One thing we know is that it's not all over yet for physical media.

Animals, Santana III, and TYA A Space in Time have held me over. Free-For-All was another killer. I gotta count my blessings as a classic rock fan. It's been pretty darn good lately.

Any Harry Nilsson. 🥃 🥃
I wonder if there is a problem with the quad master tape? So many chances to get this out on disc and no one does it. MFSL has done the stereo in both gold CD and SACD I believe. There have been two other reissues with different bonus tracks. There was one song on the AF "The Collection An Adventure In Sound" in quad "Without You" from the big album.

So there is licensing available, the tapes appear to be there, and we've been close, oh so close but no.

How could such a classic killer album with a quad mix just be passed on over and over again? Just like Edgar Winter's big hit album being passed on. We get a Judy Collins, or a Mac Davis instead.

I've also been waiting for Edgar Winter's "They only come out at Night" forever. Also Janis Joplin's Pearl, and Morman Tabernacle Choir's "Messiah Highlights" (great for Christmas!).
 
Is Jefferson Airplane possible rights wise? Volunteers or Worst of... would be a dream come true. Speaking of which, did either Sunfighter or Blows Against the Empire get mixed into quad back then? Any Hot Tuna in quad would sell like hot cakes.

Jefferson Airplane – Volunteers

… or a sixer of Coke at least 😄

Here’s a classical title I’d love for them to take on -

The RCA Dolby Surround CD combines both Volume 1 and 2, and sounds excellent when decoded with the Surround Master. It has a total of 11 tracks, and is part of RCA's High Performance series. It's worth seeking out.
