Thank you


I just noticed one page before you posted this:


I Just did a total count of the disc that I have,

From a total of 76 on that list

got 51 + 5 ordered = 56

Not bad

For its astronomically superlative quad mix alone, you definitely require Herbie Hancock - Sextant in your collection. It’s trippin’, dude!
 
I've bought a bunch but these are my favorites:
Return to Forever - Music Magic
Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles live
Weather Report - Talespinnin
Earth Wind & Fire
Why can't we get more titles like these instead of the tsunami of elevator music? :D

Patience there, Grasshopper. There's always a calm before a storm. I recall there were some pretty longhair releases before they slammed us with The Guess Who, Argent, The Raiders, etc. They certainly seem to be selling well for a dead format with no market or demand! :ROFLMAO:

I'm hoping the next batch will be more up my alley, too. Wracking my brain trying to think what they'll be? Even if we get some southern-flavoured country music, I'd be in for that, too.

ahh.. for every elevator there's a "Stairway To Heaven"... 😍

I really would like:

Earth, Wind & Fire - Spirit/That's the Way of the World

Anyone know of a U.S.A. retailer that ships locally? I don’t really want to wait over a month to receive it from the UK with fear of it being lost.

Let's do a 3fer of Quad discs for the one and only......Americas answer to the Stones.....Aerosmith - Wings, Toys & Rocks!!! I'd die and be willing to do to hell for them.....!!!

PS: A songbird from Japan whispered in my ear not too long ago that maybe just maybe Sony Japan just might have in the works 7" Quad SACD packages coming out in the near future....just don't quote me on it ok :)
