for those of us who already have the Surround Master, will the encoded LP be available for sale separately?
A fine question. I'll ask Kamran about it.

Apologies - I did mean the Talking Heads 12x12 but it doesn't have its own Wiki page.
What encode was utilized if you don't mind me asking ? QS , SQ , MP, or something else .
So something from the "RM" family of matrices ?I couldn't honestly tell you, it doesn't say, and I haven't tried any formal tests - but given how well it decodes in Involve, I would suggest at least that it isn't SQ.
QS encoded would be a good possibility. Depending on his level of involvement, "good old" Quad Bob was a big Sansui fan. And from what I've read on here in the past, the QS matrix itself was royalty free, but using the name, and especially logo were not, which was why a lot of companies went around that by calling it RM, or Vari-Matrix in the case of Marantz, and some of the record labels that used QS encoding never declared on the LP or sleeve what system it was, just simply "matrix encoded stereo compatable".
And correct me if I'm wrong Overture, but I thought I remember Chucky mentioning that an aspect of the Surround Master was based off of QS, maybe the starting point for TSS (Having a hard time finding the original two threads in the new forum layout. I remember that they earned their own sub-threads)?
Overture just set it straight on this thread too:
Involve encoding confirmed
Does that make it the first recording using your Involve Studio Encoder?
edit: There's the man himself, while I was typing!
I just have to ask.
Do you lads intend on "Encoding " in quad other music releases ? That includes current or older titles . Anything else in the near future ? (or in the pipeline so to speak )
Quad Encoding can be a lot of fun , or so I've experienced . Some older rock, prog, etc genre titles most needed I think anyways.
Even if it's just a good enhancing of a 2ch source, provided the artist is popular , or needs a quad reissue to perk up their musical art.
Anyways , perhaps someone can elaborate.
And congratulations on your first encode.
Thank you
As it stands we don't have any plans to encode pre-existing surround material - there is at least one other band whose material is being worked with to see if it will work well as a quad release. It would / will be a re-mastering / production process however, there isn't a surround mix yet. More to come.
Speaking of unlikely returns of things.....
