I just got this copy of ELO’s Out Of The Blue. It has the tell-tale quad notch in the upper left corner, but lists FOUR programs and doesn’t say Q8, Quadraphonic or Quadrasonic anywhere on the cart. Is this just a way to play a double album on one cart, or is it a manufacturing issue… or, is it actually quad? I see no reference to ELO ever making any Q8s

Not quad. The manufacturer was just using up empty quad 8 shells and used them on some stereo 8 product. No stereo player would care about the notch, so it really didn't matter to the suits. They figured there weren't many quad players out there so it didn't matter, just use up the plastic
