Vedette Label Quadraphonic Recordings from Italy

Mark Anderson · May 9, 2019

The Vedette Label in Italy issued some Qadraphonic 8-Tracks & LP records. The discographies currently list many titles but their are some gaps between the catalog numbers that are known and am hoping someone can fill in the wholes.

Two missing cart found, but are classical titles:

Q8S 3074, Mussorgsky, A night on bald mountain
Q8S 3085, Vivaldi, Le Quattro Stagioni

The theoretical Effetti Sonori 10 does not exist as a quad, is stereo only. These sound effects library were licensed from various labels to Vedette, so if the Ovation original was qs-encoded, Vedette advertised the qs encoding.
