I'm looking at purchasing quad LPs and need to know how I can be sure of which Matrix code the album was recorded with; CD-4, QS, SQ
Thanks so much for the prompt reply and information. The record I am looking at purchasing at this time is Glenn Derringer's "Light 'N Easy . I need to make sure the record is not CD-4. My system will handle SQ and QS.I am afraid there is no easy answer as each label and each disc has different identifying codes. Usually, but not always, a Q in the disc number is helpful. The only place I am aware that a quad disc might be in a stereo sleeve is CTI records that had an SQ in the matrix code. When stereo stampers wore out the dual inventory stampers were phased out and SQ masters used typically after that.

That record will be QS. Ovation never used CD4 on their records.
There were a few EV-4 releases from Ovation, but the majority were QS.
Thanks for that valuable piece of information; I really appreciate it.That record will be QS. Ovation never used CD4 on their records. Have you checked out Mark Anderson's surround discography page? That is my go to database of all discs quad and you can find out which system discs are encoded in and record numbers and country of origin.
