i've never heard this one in Quad, is it as good a Surround mix as the other 3 Quincy Jones Quads?

I didn't know there was a quad mix of this album. I have the CD and the music itself is great, kind of fusion-y and tuneful. Title song and Killer Joe are especially good IMO. Does very well with both quad synth & modern upmixers. So I would expect a discrete quad version to be very creative

Too bad it's only on Q8 which I've never had even in a car! Wish there was an SQ/QS/CD4 LP; I'd seek it out in a heartbeat. I have the quad LP of Body Heat and IMHO Walking in Space is better music, for me anyway

Happy Birthday, Q! (90 years old today.)

7. Bought this on cassette. Q8 and CD. I'd rate the music 10, but four for mix.
