This weekend's arrivals were:

And my copy of that Supraphon recording of the Beethoven "Archduke" trio that BBQ posted on 18th July!

Pretty awesome haul from various record stores in the Detroit area- some of them even had the quad LPs sorted into a separate bin! Would you believe me if I told you this lot ran me less than $20...

I'm particularly blown away by the Dave Mason and B.T. Express albums. Paging Dutton-Vocalion! B.T. Express is another one of those annoying Columbia titles that was released only in SQ...all the more reason to get it out there.

ooh...!!! congrats!!! bargain of the year!! you got three of my all-time fave SQs there!!

that MFSB is one of those kooky diagonal pan PIR mixes like Ship Ahoy and interestingly enough even drums are diagonal which makes them sound super expansive stretching across the room and very cool (imho) and its got some real funky tracks on it other than the big Soul Train theme tune hit, "TSOP".. the BT Express is just fabulous imho, there's a really slowed down but still groovy version of The O'Jays "Now That We've Found Love", there's high energy type disco numbers a-go-go ("Energy Level", "Energy To Burn", "Make Your Body Move", "Can't Stop Groovin' Right Now.."), a hippy trippy almost psychedelic ride in "Time Tunnel" (replete with nifty sound effects!) and even a sorta tripped out almost Reggae-ish instrumental ("Herbs") and to top it off the Quad mix is unusually a 4-corner affair for a late CBS release in '76 (by the late great Larry Keyes) a real hidden gem.. and the Dave Mason is an aggressive mix with a shit ton of separation and even 360 panning, above all with some great tunes!

if DV were to give all 3 their tip top remastering treatment I really would be over the moon and back again.. and I think these underrated Quads that don't get discussed much if at all would get a long overdue new lease on life on MCh SACD! fingers crossed that happens someday, meantime we can enjoy these overlooked surround treasures on our old SQ records and/or Q8 tapes! bravo! great haul..!!

You don't come across these Angel 45rpm discs very often, so finding this still sealed one was very exciting:

i heard it was originally going to be called;
"Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum
Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum Drum" but they ran out of space on the record label.

did you know the sequel is called "Bongos Bongos Bongos"! its hard to find in its original pristine state since it came in a brown paper bag due to the x-rated cover! you have to be Rich, Buddy, to get it!

ps. does the record have any drums on it?

Always a pleasure to see what Japanese quads you've come up with BBQ !!!

So very elusive for me back in the day , and boy did they ever commit to quad matrix discs !

Makes one wonder how many are available today on cd .

This week's haul comprised:

A sealed one-

[bigbillquad]

Hi. All

Some more matrix LP`s came today

( Polydor. QS? AR 2001 -Goro on Stage )-
( Elec. QS? EB 1006 7" 45. -Young Japanese Pop Singer )-

 

[Soundfield]

There was a bit of a discussion on another thread recently about live recordings of classical / opera performances in quad (or rather lack thereof) so I'm pleased to have just added this boxed set to the collection:

The box also contains a copy of the souvenir programme:

which documents that the event was being recorded:

It is a shame that such live recordings were so rare.

 

[Soundfield]

This pristine 5 disc box set just arrived from Germany, its absolutely like new and the vinyl has never been played:

The large booklet included has lots of fascinating photos of the actual recording sessions. I was particularly interested by this as clearly they used all the available space and I'm guessing this will be a pretty immersive sound. I was amused to see that they had built what looks like a little garden shed to enclose the timpanist! -

This week I have been mostly (Fast Show reference for UK viewers!) filling some inexcusable gaps in my Bernstein collection, taking delivery of the following (all mint or still sealed):

 

[Soundfield]

Two more box sets added to the collection this week:
