I had the good fortune to see Chase in the summer of 1974, shortly before Bill's tragic death.
A j Ennea, Pure Music),
It was a night to remember!
I'd love to get a quad version of Pure Music. I'm new to the quad game, any suggestions on where to look? I'm limited to SACD/DVD for now, but I'm open to future HW procurements.
{{{The BGO triple cd version contains both the Chase and Pure Music cd's in SQ .
And it's still available to order on line, got mine 2 yrs back through a local vendor.

Are you sure these are SQ encoded?
The first Chase album on iTunes is, as is the Japanese CD.. the Japanese Blu-spec of Pure Music is not.
Oh yes Fizzy..
as to your question as to why more SQ Quads from Sony's vaults haven't leaked or been used (whether intentionally or accidentally) on CD reissues over the years, I have a theory, which is very simple = the people at these labels responsible for archives and so forth are perhaps not as clueless as we may sometimes think, they know which tapes are which and have worked to get their house in order.. and then the engineers or teams of pro's doing the CDs know which tapes to pull (i.e. the ones that are the Stereo mixdown master.. sometimes marked "USE THIS!" etc...) rather than one marked "SQ Quadraphonic" or somesuch.. I think this is something that has improved over the last 15-2
0 years, prior to that in the 80's there was potential for anything and everything to be used and often it did (still though, very very few SQ
Quads from Sony seemed to have slipped out on CD even then
..anyway, just a hunch, probably wrong.
