Anyone remember this one? I wonder how many were made?

I would say it's probably pretty rare, the only other one I've ever seen is the one I own.

Well, of course...that's the special radio station edition with excerpts only, balanced for broadcast....
This is one I haven't heard in Quad. Nice album, coral vinyl, and one snippet from it was used in Carl Sagan's COSMOS TV series. Must be rare in Quad, knew it existed but have never seen one up close & personal(if I had, it'd be in my collection).

Of course, Daphnis et Chloe was actually sold in the USA with an RCA catalog number (sticker on the Japanese LP), but this one, I recall, was only available mail order for a very short time, and only within the then "quad community".
I am sure "Quad First" will remember all of the details on this one (Bermuda Triangle), if he happens to see this thread, or maybe Larry Clifton.

The last CD-4 made (at least commercially) was RCA Japan R4C-2069, and it was sold in the USA through normal RCA USA distrubition channels. At that time, I was setup as a record dealer and purchased them direct. They came through from RCA USA with a suggested list price sticker, to alert the dealer that it carried a higher than normal list price. I was told that 200 copies were imported at that time. I know it wasn't available long, I got an order or two of them, then within a few months it was deleted. In Japan, Kosmos, spelled Cosmos on their release, was the rarest. For some reason in Japan RCA sold it only briefly, while here it was available up until the end of CD-4 sales. The graphics are entirely different on the Japan release of Kosmos as well.
Cool! Thanks to Nick and Aldo for the pictures! I love that stuff.
If I am not mistaken, I have a Dolby Surround CD of this release. Is that possible?
As I recall, it decodes amazingly well on my QSD-2.

There were some Dolby Surround CDs of some of the Tomita's, as well as a few other RCA titles. I think I have some of these too. I know I have "Snowflakes" for sure, not so sure about the others.
Arrived today my Japan CD-4 copy of Bermuda Triangle from Germany. YUP!

Hi @ArmyOfQuad / @JonUrban / @Lucanu - Did you manage to get anything out of Bermuda Triangle? I’ve just ordered one. Thanks John at IsaoTomita.net
Hi, I know it sounds weird, but I had this in pristine condition and never had a chance to do a conversion yet...12 years later
