Ohhh yes!! What's not to like? Ordered all four, let the FUNK(and soul)begin!
Thanks DV.

Now this is the kind of news we should be waking up to!

This is killing me because I’m still waiting for my last order of the Christmas six to arrive. Now this New Year’s miracle. Anyone now want to dispute that DV is the surround sound G.O.A.T.?

"He is Dutton! Hear Him Roar!!"

It's time to play "Spot The Lyrical Reference!"

"My name is Betty. He favorite group was..."

Go!

 

[bossfan]

The Helen Reddy looks very interesting. A sure buy for me. Have to admit I know nothing about the Funk offers but I am probably more familiar with them than I realize. Will wait to hear from you experts.

I'm no expert but I just thought I'd share the links to QQ polls for the EWF titles here:

That didn't take too long , just got a shipping notice from DV for the 4 Funk/Soul bunch order I placed only 4 hours ago.

Do these guys ever sleep?

how about that!
the combination of the Harold Melvin and O'Jays albums' artwork is particularly masterful, i think!

warts and all i'll always love the Quad of TTWOTW but it will probably still divide the crowd, not least because its so different from the hit mixes.. out of the two "Spirit" should go down better round here, its fabulous.. but the Harold Melvin and O'Jays Quads are the real ones that will wow everyone i think/hope (!) particularly "Black & Blue" which is one of those Quads that just like "Ship Ahoy" pulls every trick in the mixing book but doesn't feel at all gimmicky. unless by some catastrophe DV **** it up, that'll be an instant "10" for me.

 

[skherbeck]

As usual I pulled the trigger too early and ordered the first four before Helen Reddy was announced... guess that one will wait until I have something to pair it with

 

[sjcorne]

Holy hell. Perhaps I am biased by my love for both 70's soul music and the Philadelphia International quad mixes, but this is without a doubt the greatest batch from D-V yet. Survival, Family Reunion, and Wake Up Everybody discrete for the first time! Spirit and That's The Way Of The Would on the same disc! Love Crazy - one of CBS' very last quad releases from 1977, for which the Q8 is so rare it's hard to even find a picture of it online- is now available from the quad master tapes for roughly $15 USD! Are you kidding me??? Mr. Dutton is spoiling us rotten.

I love all of these titles, but if there's one that stands out above the pack it's Black & Blue. I've heard a lot of '70s quad mixes and I honestly think this is one of the best ever done. Like @fredblue said - there's all kinds of panning and swirling and channel-hopping, but it's never gimmicky and totally fits the material. "Is There A Place For Me" blows my mind every time I hear it.
