I would be very happy if they would release "Nilsson Schmilsson" by Harry Nilsson and "Court and Spark" by Joni Mitchell. I can only imagine how good they would sound in quad. I only have heard them in stereo.

On a two~fer with [stereo only] Nilsson Sings [Randy] Newman........
there are sufficient Nilsson Quads that DV could do a 2-fer (or 2) in Surround before embarking on any Stereo remastering of his work![]()
You're right Adam [as ALWAYS]. I'd still LOVE the spectacular Nilsson Sings Newman on even a stand alone Stereo SACD!
BTW, did you get your latest D~V 'stash' YET?

You don't have to imagine one track from Schmilsson -- "Without You" -- which was released on AF's The Collection SACD. Unfortunately, the Schmilsson album is pretty much a dud in quad. Not very discrete, lead vocal X 4, mediocre sonics, and lots of unmuted tracks left open sloppily. I never listen to it anymore, although the kitchen-sink over-the-top mix of "Jump into the Fire" was fun for a few listens.
"Court and Spark" is another story entirely. A top quad mix, likely audiophile quality. I say "likely" because until we hear an undistorted, non-CD-4 dub from the quad masters, we'll never know. But I'd sure like to.
Actually, it would be nice to get a few of the hard-to-find Nisson quads on two-fers. I'd buy them.
Schmilsson a dud? A lot of people would disagree with that including me.
Maybe you could tell me what's so good about it -- other than the great songs. I had muchly anticipated hearing the many familiar tracks in quad but was pretty disappointed. Coconut and Gotta Get Up, two favorites I knew from 45 singles, were especially disheartenng. Jump Into the Fire is way overdone with added echo and unnnecessary extra percussion. Without You is somewhat okay, but still not all that discrete with vocal x 4 and an annoying added accoustic guitar during the solo piano opening. Other than horns in the rear there's not much going on separation-wise. And overall, the sound is dull compared to the stereo version
And me. "Jump Into The Fire" is one of the best quad mixes made.Schmilsson a dud? A lot of people would disagree with that including me.
"Nilsson Schmilsson" by Harry Nilsson and "Court and Spark" by Joni Mitchell.
Rhino might be the best bet for Joni 's Quads I reckon.
Don't think DV is accessing the Warner quads yet, and WEA/Rhino seems to have found renewed interest in releasing quad .
Put me down for Nilsson Schmillsson, and Pussy Cats , two great quads from RCA. Hope to see em from DV some day soon.
I am pretty sure Marshall wanted to do "Nilsson Schmilsson" for AF SACD 2.0/4.0 release, because he asked me what I thought about the title, but some other label beat him to it. Poor AF got quad blocked quite a few times by MFSL and others who had no intention of adding the quad tracks to their SACDs.
BASTAGES THEY BE!

The sad part is that I think Analogue Productions (Acoustic Sounds) got the rights to reissue "Nilsson Schmilsson" and it still has not materialized yet.
Bastages is right!
