The Friends of Distinction quads of Grazin' & Real Friends is very nice. This copy of Grazin' In The Grass easily bests the version on the mostly great 2016 comp from Audio Fidelity.
Two of the members of The FOD were previously in a group called The Hi-Fi’s. Other members of the Hi-Fi’s included Marilyn McCoo and Lamont McLemore who are better known as one half of The Fifth Dimension.
 
As a compromise then I'll stream it. I like owning these but have to draw a line somewhere. If it was just the first album I'd be more inclined to get it, but really hard to justify GBP 24.

Incidentally, I imagine this is part of why Sony is so open to working with D-V - they get a digital quad transfer they can put up for streaming in Atmos and D-V just gets the UK SACD rights for a period.
Yes you can just look at the Japanese SACD import prices and new remasters in 1970s quod.
