John Lennon Imagine 4-channel Japanese open reel

[quad4all]

Found this on Jauce (Japanese Yahoo auctions). It went for an outrageous price of 230,000 Yen and had 95 bids.

Another one?? Cool!

It was really cool before the big deluxe edition came along and included the quad mix in it. Now it's a high-priced piece of quad history and a lovely example. But something's lost, that ultra-rare mix is not so rare anymore.

I see today this has been recognized earlier already

Sorry, don't fully get it. What mix are you referring to? There are so many entries in the forum.

Imagine 4-channel (quad from 70s as found on this rare reel)) mix was once rare as hen's teeth. Imagine quad 4-channel mix recently came out on a deluxe edition BluRay (along with 5.1 mixes as well), not long ago. The quad mix of Imagine is no longer rare at all.
