Canadian Q8 Unique Catalog Numbers

Yep, yep, yep, yep. From my memory of Canadian Q8'S - Polydor (Polygram) Records Canada , London Records Canada , and Warner Brothers Records Canada all had bilingual sleeves . (French/English)

But there were not very many issued by Warner Music Canada. The vast majority were imported in from the US.

Just as an added note , Columbia Records Canada had one or 2 Q8 Samplers that were not available in the U.S.
But I'm afraid I don't have tape numbers.
Also London Records Canada had some from Ovation , Project 3 , and Vanguard Q8'S in their sleeves that may or may not have had different numbers. But again lot's of the U.S. Q8'S were made available from those 3 labels.

Additionally A&M Records Canada had Q8'S made here. The big surprise for me was that the United Artists gold carts were Canadian , I know the sleeves were very much the same as the U.S tapes.

BTW @Mark Anderson I think you meant Threshold THQ. 14
for the Justin Hayward/John Lodge -Blue Jays Q8.

There was a member on QQ who had the promo catalog of Canadian Quadraphonic tapes and Records that were available. Anyway it can be found somewhere in a thread on QQ .

One of the few...

I think Deep Purple Machine Head was the same one I had.
The sleeve is unique as it has in big letters Quadraphonique and Quadraphonic on the sides.

Pretty much everyone knows about the Polygram Canada titles , such as the 5 BTO'S on Mercury .
4 or 5 James Last titles and Roberto Delgado Bouzouki on Polydor Canada .
2 Ohio Players on Mercury Polygram Canada .

Eric Clapton's CD-4 albums (both) were imported in by Atlantic U.S.A
But I always found it surprising that Eric Clapton There’s One In Every Crowd was also made by Polydor Canada...RSO/Polydor.
I used to see it amongst the rest of the above Polygram Q8'S

Here is a photograph picture (photocopy) I took for an encoded cassette I made.
