Over the years I've always kinda been intrigued with CBS/Sony Japan's quad release program. Not just because it included handful of titles from western artists that weren't released anywhere else like Johnny Mathis's Love Story, The Byrds' Byrdmaniax and the cancelled release of Edgar Winter's White Trash, but also because the catalog numbering system used by the label was kind of opaque by Western standards. Whereas with the CBS unified numbering system in the US you could tell the label and format by the catalog prefix (C = Columbia CQ = Columbia Quadraphonic E = Epic, EQ = Epic Quadraphonic, etc.) and releases were in chronological numerical order, CBS/Sony Japan's catalog numbering system offers little insight into either of these things aside from denoting what label the release is on and if the recording is classical or popular...and even then, not all of the time.
The label's quad releases are also entirely mixed in with its stereo releases, meaning the only way to confirm something as quad is to see the album cover or record labels to confirm. In the pre-internet days this would've been impossible unless you worked in a record shop in Japan, but Google (and Google image search in particular) has really revolutionized the ability to search for this kind of thing. As a committed reader of @Mark Anderson 's Quadraphonic Discography for a decade or more, I think I've committed much of it to memory, and browsing Japanese auction sites like Yahoo! Japan Auctions the last couple of years I started noticing every now and then that I'd see something that wasn't in there. To be fair, they were mostly releases from either Japanese domestic artists or classical releases, but nonetheless it got me wondering how many other unknown/un-cataloged CBS/Sony Japan releases there were.
So a year or so ago I set up a spreadsheet, and started with entering everything from the western, classical, Japanese and anthology/sampler sections from Mark Anderson's in numerical order. Since then, every time I saw something "new" from Japan on eBay or Yahoo! auctions (or elsewhere) that I hadn't seen before I added it to the spreadsheet until I felt like I had the majority of things. In my web travels I also discovered that in Japan, the term 'quadraphonic' (and its derivatives) aren't really used at all, because there's no precise phonetic way to spell it using Japanese kanji. Instead the main term used to describe quad seems to be "4 channel" (or similar things like "4ch", "SQ4" etc.) Since then, I've spent quite a bit of time doing what I call "speculative Googling." - that is, once I knew most (or all?) of the catalog prefixes that the label used (and there are a boatload) I started searching both auction sites and Google Image Search using a variety of search term combinations that mixed '4 channel' (and the Japanese translation) with both cbs/sony and also each individual catalog number prefix.
As a result, I now have what I think is probably the most comprehensive list of CBS/Sony Japan's quad releases to date, totalling well over 300 titles. While it's impossible to say if it's complete or not, I think it's probably in the ballpark at least. My hope is that by sharing that it'll help people who are interested in collecting this stuff, and also smoke out anything remaining that I haven't discovered already.
Broadly speaking, the list covers three labels: Bell (the Columbia Pictures-owned precursor to Arista Records that CBS distributed), Epic and CBS/Sony (so called because EMI owned the rights to the 'Columbia' name outside of North America). Because this list is in alphabetical catalog order and covers a variety of styles and genres and includes both Western and Japanese artists, I thought I'd provide a sort of "table of contents" of catalog prefixes in case you want to find something specific.
