I wish all those other Santana 4 Channels would come out on SACD
"illuminations" & "buddy miles" did come out on 4 channel SACD from Dutton UK,

I wish the Donny Hathaway could come out in a 4 channel SACD
and Curtis Mayfield 1973.


Thats a Great list of Quadraphonic 8 Track tapes.

 

[fredblue]

wow the prices on some of these are a giveaway!!

if i had my Akai deck working and setup i would grab that Coryell & The Eleventh House Q8 from you quicker than you could say "Alphonse Mouzon snoozed with the News on"!!

$40 for a Sealed cart of that rare birdie is tantamount to a steal(ydave)

 

[atlantasteve]

Your list makes me drool for what DV may have in store for the future.

 

[steelydave]

Just for the record, I'm not selling any of these that have yet to be released on SACD because SACD issues are imminent - I'm selling all of my collection where I believe tapes still exist in the major label vaults, so I'm keeping stuff like ABC and A&M which may have perished in the UMG vault fire.

The majority of these tapes I bought between 10 and 20 years ago and I've never played, and I just came to a point where I thought 'what am I proving to anyone by lugging this stuff around for decades?' So it's for that reason (and that I need to keep funding my hookers and blow lifestyle) that I'm selling them.

 

[surround.sound.enthusiast]

Awesome collection steelydave. I've recently realized I'm at the same point with my LP's, though not ready/willing to pare down yet.

"Cocaine's a hell of drug." - Rick James (from "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories")

 

[steelydave]

The list in the first post has been updated to reflect tapes that are now sold - if anyone's interested in anything, please don't hesitate as it'll probably be only another week or so before I take these elsewhere.

 

[steelydave]

My own procrastination could be your good fortune as I still haven't bothered to put these on eBay. So, Last Chance Saloon and I'll take 10% off the total cost of tapes if you buy 5 or more.

Check your PMs. I'm interested in a few.

Thanks!

I have a pretty good collection of Q8 tapes And I’m very passionate about finding new ones. Do you have a list of what you have that you could send me? I’ll be glad to pay you more than a fair price thank you, terry

Steely, I’ll take Isley Brothers “Live it
Up”.
Can you PM the details (Shipping addy, etc). Thanks,

 

[leeherman]

Got my five tapes from Dave today and I'm looking forward to playing them.

Dave's great to deal with, so if you are thinking about buying from his collection, do it!

[silversurfer]

I bought a few Q8’s I didn’t have from Dave. He mailed them 4-5 days ago from Canada. I’m in Oklahoma and can’t wait! I can’t track the box though, but it shouldn’t be that much longer. He wrote some nice PM’s to my questions, so I’d agree with you.

 

[steelydave]

Thanks to everyone who's bought something thusfar (and left a kind word in this thread), every purchase puts me that much closer to being able to afford the personality transplant I so desperately need.

One more tape to add to the list, The O'Jays Message in the Music from 1976, which recently came back to me after being out on loan for a while. Not only is it arguably the best of the PIR quad mixes, it's also one of the toughest tapes to find from the CBS family - I think I've only seen 3 or 4 in total in all my time collecting. Yours for the princely sum of 80 bucks.

All the tapes in the first post in this thread (aside from the ones that have been crossed out) are still available for sale - COVID-related BS has prevented me from having the time (or energy) to list them individually on eBay, so they're still for sale here for the time being. I'm still willing to offer a 10% discount, as well, on orders of 6 tapes or more.
