I'd say a definite may be! i.e. some tracks sound immersive like (so akin to how the Knebworth Matrix H BBC transmission decode in Involve Mode), others not at all, so its easy to be fooled one way or the other. I also suspect that only the BBC released LP was SQ encoded.
My earlier post Matrix Quad CD's
Yes Duncan , I noticed the new Genesis at the BBC is sans the 75 Concert .
But on the upside, we'll sort of , they did include 5 tracks from 78 Knebworth which s/b HJ , provided there is no remix.

Although the SQ indicater is not on the album cover ...I went ahead and ordered this very early quad recording., as it's an S I QUAD Album.
Of note is that there are 4 different album covers of this particular recording. Three of which do say SQ matrix ...weird that.
And the liner notes do not say remixed for this cd , so I'm happy with this SQ rarity.
Stan Kenton - Live At Butler University STD 1058 (original album # ST 1058) SQ

Stan Kenton - Live At Butler University STD 1058 (original album # ST 1058) SQ
I just used Qobuz to stream this through the SM2 in SQ mode and it's pretty obviously encoded.
I also have 2 other Stan Kenton albums on order.
The Four Freshman disc and his his Live At Brigham Young , both available on CD , btw.
These 2 SQ encoded CD'S came in the mail recently.
Both were S.I....single inventory when originally released on LP .
In fact Stan Kenton had 4 SQ double albums released in the early 70's , on the Creative World Record Company . ...and were some of the first SQ albums issued with the CBS SQ quad System.
These SQ CD'S counter parts , are from the mid to late 80's .

Don't know either, but I did instantly recognise the cartoon style of Hart, then I noticed the little SQ logo!
Been trying to obtain matrix encoded CD'S on line , before they completely vapourize.

Lastly, a 2 cd set in SQ
Tarot -Walter Wegmuller...By the looks of the listings this can also be considered an artists jam.

Are there any technical details about how the mono to "quad" upmix was done?
Kirk Bayne
None.
Came in the mail recently.
John Lee Hooker - Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive (QS)
According to the CD liner notes , this was recorded in September 71. I find that interesting, as that would mean ABC Records artists had access to a Sansui Encoder at the very earliest...Autumn of 1971 .(maybe even earlier)
This was recorded at The Village Recorders in L.A.
ABC/MCA Records CD (QS)

I fancied some John Lee Hooker in QS, but the only one I could find on amazon.co.uk is this re-issue which has Stereo on the booklet
Should still be encoded though.
It was and is a Single Inventory QS mix.
Unless they remixed the entire album.
BTW My copy is also a European edition , I think from Germany

.Also only tracks one to seven s/b quad ?
No wait ...these are the original tracks.

Good to know its single inventory, I'll go on Discogs and find a copy like yours, the See-For-Miles remasters were always good (the label went bust I think) but having Quad tracks interspersed with stereo ones might be odd!
