Is there a chance that at least some of these might be SQ-encoded?
 
AXA 3105 was released as a dts cd, so a quad master do exist. But the LP versions on discogs don't list any quad release.

Spotted this on Yahoo! Japan auctions, but the image is so small I can't accurately read the catalog number in the upper right corner - it can only be either EAY-80009 or EAY-80010. I'm leaning toward 80009, anyone else have any thoughts?

I don't want to act like I'm the first person to notice this (@bigbillquad mentioned it in passing last year), I've made (what I think) is a pretty interesting discovery about the nature, scope, and duration quad content in Toshiba's "Pro-Use" audiophile series of LPs.

I've seen a couple of them in my internet travels - at the top of their obi-strip they have a notation that says "2ch and 4ch" and for whatever reason I kind of discounted them as most likely being "quasi-quad" because almost every other Japanese quad LP has some kind of notation about the type of quadraphonic encoding they use, like Crown and King with the RM logo, CBS/Sony with the SQ logo, and even the earlier Toshiba quad LPs with the RM4 logo.

This is what one of them looks like:

View attachment 40868

As you can see, no mention of a format, or even the Japanese kanji "4チャンネル" which translates to "4 Channel", the phrase they use instead of quadraphonic.

So a few days back for some reason these LPs popped in to my head again, and I decided to do some digging to see if I could get to the bottom of what they were all about. The "Pro-Use" banner covers a lot of catalog number prefixes, but I noticed that the ones with the "2ch and 4ch" obis were all from the LF-910xx series - so what I did was googled each catalog number, starting with LF-91001, and working my way upward until I stopped getting results, and made a list of what I found.

As I said, earlier, the results were interesting, at least to me as someone interested in the history of quad as much as the music itself. The LF-910xx series stretches from 91001 to 91051, and of those 50 albums, at least 19 of them are quad, and from looking at @Mark Anderson's quad discographies and searching around QQ, it appears that the majority of them are previously unknown to collectors.

The chronology of the releases is also interesting - they begin in 1975, which suggests that Toshiba reverted back to QS that year after issuing a half-dozen CD-4 LPs in the TP-920xxV series that year. Although they slow to a trickle by the end of the program, the last Pro-Use quad release (LF-91048 - Shoji Yokouchi Moonlight Serenade) was in 1979, which is staggering given that EMI UK shut their quad program down in 1974, and Capitol/EMI in the US and Canada were done by very early '76 when Steve Miller's Fly Like an Eagle came out.

The Pro-Use series seems to be an attempt to combine of a bunch of premium features of North American LPs: they take the bold graphic design of Blue Note and especially CTI (mimicking CTI's listing of recording locations and dates), combine that with Columbia Masterworks single inventory classical approach of '75-'77, and add in some of MoFi's attention to the actual equipment used in the recording and cutting process - I have a couple of the Jun Fukamachi albums in this series, and the booklets include a listing of all the microphones, tape decks, outboard equipment, mixing consoles, etc. used in the making of the records.

In the thread I linked to a the top of this post, bigbillquad suggests that it's only the obi strips that will tell you if these albums are quad, but another discovery I made was that from midway through the series onward, the LPs actually began to make explicit mention of being mixed and encoded in QS. Here's a random sampling of back cover mentions:

View attachment 40870View attachment 40871View attachment 40872View attachment 40873View attachment 40869

Although there are some exceptions, it generally seems to be the case that the early LPs in the series had the "2ch and 4ch" obi but no back cover mention, the middle ones in the series had the "2ch and 4ch" obi and the back cover "This Album was mixed by means of the QS matrix system" mention, and then the later ones had the back cover QS mention but nothing on the obi.

If you're the kind of person who listens to mostly Western (US/British/English speaking) music you're probably going "I don't care about any of this Japanese shiitake" but if you like that mid-70s polished jazz-funk sound like the Brecker Bros., Stuff, The Crusaders, etc. you might at least like the Jun Fukamachi albums (and the ones he had a hand in like Ponta Murakami etc.). Have a listen to this and judge for yourself:



Additionally, a few of these albums have been reissued on CD and because these were single-inventory quads the CDs maintain the QS encoding. In my list below, I've denoted CD reissues alongside and linked them to discogs entries for the CD so you can look for them if you're interested in purchasing.

Anyway, without further ado, this is the list of Pro-Use albums that are QS encoded - I'll also add this info to my initial post in this thread so everything is available together.

Dave, here's some photos I found on-line at some Japanese web sites concerning this title (doesn't seem to be 4 channel labeled anywhere that I can see?) I did have to do some considerable Geometric Perspective and skewing adjustments to straighten them out.

Nice work JP, I think we can definitely put this one in the 'not quad' category now - all the other ones in this series that are quad have either a '4ch' obi and/or a notation on the back that mentions being mixed using the QS matrix system.
 
I have three of the QS "Pro-Use" albums, and they're some of the best sounding records I have. Played through ythe Surround Master, they're damn near discrete! Awesome records!
yes, I have many of them also, absolutely fantastic; why couldn't more CD's be encoded like those :rolleyes:

Are any of these Japan Toshiba -EMI Quad Mixes on SACD?
Not that I'm aware of, and pretty obscure stuff even inside this forum, let alone outside of it I'd assume.
 
Sadly not, but if there was a Japanese equivalent of D-V (I guess that 'Stereo Sound' label that did the Hiromi Iwasaki Pandora's Box SACD a couple of years ago would qualify for this) there are at least a half-dozen of these (the two Jun Fukumachis, Hiromasa Suzuki's Skip Step Colgen, Kenji Omura's First Step, etc.) that would make great candidates for an SACD release, presuming discrete 4-channel masters were made, and still exist.
 
A couple of "new" additions to this list, both LP's from Jun Fukamachi that I hadn't previously discovered because they weren't part of the Pro-Use series.

The first is Jun Fukamachi 21st Century Band 'Rokuyu' (Express Records ETP-72100) from 1975 - a straight-ahead fusion album much like 'Introducing Jun Fukamachi' from the same year.

1645424274951.png


and the second is Jun Fukamachi – 'Fantastic Suite - A Dream On A Spring Night Based On "The Tale Of The Heike"' (Toshiba Records TP-73211) from 1978, which is a kind of Tomita-esque concept album based on an old Japanese folk tale.

1645424489675.png


Both albums have been reissued on CD in recent years and the QS encoding has been preserved - there are links to the discogs entries for the CD releases next to the LP info in the first post in this thread.
