Humprof, what a missed opportunity NOT to include her two Atlantic QUAD albums:
ARETHA FRANKLIN -
Best. Atlantic QD-8305 (CD4), ATLQ-8305-QF (QR), QT-8305 (Q8)
{The title above was released only in quad, no stereo version known}
Live at the Fillmore West. Atlantic QD-7205 (CD4), QT-7205
[previously TP-7205Q] (Q8)
And yes, her BEST OF was released as a QUADIO DTS 4.0 but in VERY limited quantities!!

Not to mention her 1974 album With Everything I Feel in Me, which supposedly has an unreleased quad mix - the stereo version was mixed by Arif Mardin and Gene Paul, who also mixed Aretha's Live at Fillmore West so it's certainly within the realm of possibility.
Maybe @Steel Woole can illuminate us on what Warners holds in their vaults in terms of Aretha quad mixes if he's feeling benevolent.

Not exactly on-topic--except for the degree to which it affects the motivation to release more from the vaults:
