[Q-Eight]

Don't know how anybody could NOT like the Quad mixes of Jim Croce stuff. My only critical thought is that, like many ABC titles, the mixer gets a little carried away with the canned echo. But other than that, it's a great, fun listen. When drums are a major part of the song, they're front and wide. When they're not an important instrument, they're in a back channel - very similar to the Sly Stone/Greatest Hits tape. Personally, I dig ALL the Jim Croce Quads. Just wish they'd have potted up the electric guitars on "Five Short Minutes".
