I love the quad version of Court and Spark that is floating around the internet. I assume it is legit, but, who knows.
It is a good mix, but in my mind they should have taken all of Joni's harmony vocals on "Raised on Robbery" and spread them around the 4 channels (like "Seven Bridges Road" on "Hell Freezes Over") Even when I first played that CD4 back in the 70's, that was what I was expecting from that song in quad but alas, all of the Joni's are mixed into a single vocal track. She probably wanted it that way, so who the F am I to complain, but I thought that would be a killer way to demo quad to folks.
Yes it would be a killer. Still, it would thrill me no end if someone reissued the quad so that we could all critique the mix.
Actually, all of Joni's quad albums had great mixes.

Maybe in the "official Archives release" coming later this year--which will include "a wealth of unreleased studio and live recordings." (There's rumored to be an unreleased quad mix of Blue, right?) But I'm not holding my breath.

A tough call for me. I have her first three [remastered] albums in HDCD [which boasts 20 bit resolution] and I just purchased the Warner/Reprise Japanese MQA encoded UHQ~CD of Blue which sounds SENSATIONAL!

Just a note for those considering from whom to order this new set. I ordered her "Archives" set directly from her store (sent Oct. 27), and it arrived in (rural) Australia two weeks later (Nov. 11, sent from near LA, if I recall). I mention this because I got mine while others in the US were still waiting on other places to confirm shipment, or even worse, there was a failure to fulfil the order.
My source tells me there is more news to come.Available June 25th from AmazonUS

Joni Mitchell one of the greatest artists of our times deserves a QUADIO BD~A boxset from Rhino. PERIOD!
I second that motion!
Other than Court and Hissing... What else would be in the box?
It is rumoured that Blue may have been mixed in quad as well, even though it was never released.

Blue has a 4.0 remix and it was rumored [but NOT confirmed] that Ladies of the Canyon was likewise remixed for QUAD. And wouldn't it be nice to have Joni's phenomenol LIVE album MILES OF AISLES with backing from the LA Express in stereo on a LOSSLESS BD~A, as well?
