Having trouble locating a copy.
Does anyone know if the CD version is really Quad? Or just a stereo mixdown of the Japanese Quad?

I bet that's either an error or just a stereo mixdown. Don't know for a fact though. Happy to share a very good digitised copy of the CD-4.

afaik that CD's a Bootleg? a CD may contain the Quad mixes but they won't be decodable (demodulatable, even!) only playable in 2-channel downmixed form.

it's a shame it hasn't been reissued in discrete MultiCh, it's a gorgeous (albeit v. short) album with a lovely Surround mix.
