I have come across an interesting, but heated discussion on vinyl engine about 4 channel sound. http://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=71299 A user, PhilBrown, has suggested that there was a catalog number for a quad reel for Simon and Garfunkel's BOTW, that the Mike Robin reels can't possibly exist(citing his experience at Columbia at the time), and other things.

Where would an alternate quad mix come from? Certainly Halee didn't do one. You have no idea what was involved in mixing it. Just for starters, most songs were mixed a verse at a time and cut together. No one but Halee could do that. And Sony would NEVER let the tapes out of its sight. In fact, I wonder if they even know where they are.
Just for starters, The Boxer comes from 2 8 tracks running together with an additional 2 track string part on the out courses.
Sorry, don't buy it.

What I want to know is, does the name ring a bell for anyone here? It is my current assumption that he is blowing smoke, based on common knowledge on the topic around here, but I am willing (and wanting reelly bad) to be wrong. I have invited him to join us here, let's see wat happens.
