If this forum and our polls are any indicator, the demand for the easy listening and country titles is nowhere near what it is for the rock/pop titles. “Breakaway” has 44 votes; the Dottie West title has 3.
Of course much of this music likely has fans that extend beyond the reaches of this forum, but at the same time it’s hard to imagine a large market for easy listening hi-res/quad reissues that exists blissfully unaware or uninterested in the attention we pay to such things here.
Maybe a lot of these get sold to people uninterested in the quad layers? But if so then that begs other inevitable questions.
One can only presume the licensing for these titles must be dirt cheap.
