Yes that is the un-demodulated channels. Here are 5 second samples of that same section un-demodulated and the demodulated front channels so you can hear what is going on.

I LONG for the day Rhino/Warner releases an Eagles QUADIO BD~A box set [192/24] consisting of ONE OF THESE NIGHTS, ON THE BORDER, HOTEL CALIFORNIA AND HELL FREEZES OVER.
Sounds like groove wall damage to me.
I find the spread of the votes on this quad album interesting. I've always considered the material to be loaded with both 'killers' and 'filler.' I either really like a song or don't care for it.
And both the CD4 and Q8 had/have a 'dead' sound, to my ears anyway, as if something is missing compared to the stereo versions. The song One Of These Nights is sped up slightly from the stereo original and the backing vocals are different. All of that is OK except for the 'deadness.'
Lyin' Eyes really sounds reticent compared to a demix/remix of the stereo using DeMix Pro.
I understand that some folks will really like the more intimate presentation of the material on the quad version, but my indifference to many of the cuts coupled with the sensation that 'something's missing' puts me off.

after abandoning both linear tracking and stepped-up Ortofon moving coil setups for CD-4 purposes (couldn't get either working satisfactorily 
) i finally got CD-4 demodulating a-go-go dialled back in with ye olde pivot arm and moving magnet setup this Summer 
and played this here Quaddie LP, among a few i'd not spun in quite some time, a good few i'd maybe unfairly maligned, including this'un.
anyhoo, i've popped in to up my score from a "7" to an "8"
it's a murkier mix than i'd like but plenty Surround-y enough and i enjoyed it much more than i did back in 2012 when i previously rated it here at QQ
11 years eh..
how time flies when you're tinkering with your equipment
