Had NO idea it was QS encoded, Adam. Will have to try it out. BTW, Beaver and Krause's magnificent Warner Brothers album GANDHARVA was released in QS, as well. Do you have that one?
BEAVER & KRAUSE -
All Good Men. Warner Brothers BS-2624 (EV) [US & Australia]]
* Gandharva. Warner Bros. WS-1909 (EV) [US, Cabada, Venezuela], QP-8177W
(QS) [Japan], K 46130 (EV) [UK] {The titles above were released only in quad, no stereo version known}
A bit repetitive in that most of the songs appear twice but I’m not complaining.
I’m a sucker for dance mixes and the majority of these hit the target.
And that album cover, whoa kd, nice

I’ve read varying opinions on this one, not all positive. Others think it sounds too compressed.
*Edit* on second listen some of the bonus tracks (mainly’Because the Night’) sound pretty loud
IMO it’s their best album in many years and the sound is fine. Non fatiguing, plenty of bottom end.
This version in a clamshell box with a bonus disc, small poster and 4 postcards of the band members (the latter items useless but par for the course these days)
