This is one I'll never understand. Why was the SQ album only released in Brazil and the Q8 tape only released in the UK?

This was the final result of me bidding on a bunch of tapes selling out of Quebec. I think I may have missed a few but for all I know, I got all the Guess Who's the seller had.
I used to have Best of #2 and Artificial Paradise years ago, but Best #2 was on a gold cartridge.
If anybody out there has Wheatfield Soul, Canned Wheat, Share the Land or Rockin' on red, Canadian Q8.... get in touch. I'd like to complete the set.

Hi. Q-Eight
I have most of them but not as good as looking as yours are, great catch.
BBQ...
After many moons, I've completed this set. I've had Tape 2 for .... more years than I can remember. Bid on multiple copies of Tape 1, but never won. Did win another set that has been stuck across the line in America at my P.O. box for two years. But then an auction came along for 12 RCA Q8's, mostly Red Seals but did include Jose Tape 1. I threw in a best offer and the seller agreed. So, now I have two sets.... I just can't get to one set just yet. Hopefully in the New Year, they'll open up the border to peasants like me.

Bump,
Well I’m not going the Q8 route it seems, but does anyone else have opinions on this one? Is it good for a possible DV twofer?
Musically, a good Ramsey album, though far from his best. Mix is quasi-quad.
IMHO, best Ramsey Lewis Quad is Upendo ni Pamoja, US Columbia Q8/SQ. Great performance & mix. And it's only three guys.
The Movie Album and Lewis' Best on Cadet aren't worth the bother. I have 2ch LP's of those two that I much prefer spinning. I have a love/hate relationship w/Q8, even though I have about 300 of them. 2ch synthesized off Ortofon MC, CD or SACD is usually a far better experience than a quasi-quad Q8.
I'm complete on Lewis' Quads, as well as his 50's, 60's & 70's output through '75..
Well, it would be great, but that Curtis album also appeared on reel to reel Q4, and is not one of the most impressing ones to say the least. That and the Funkadelic were two of the bigger disappointments on quad conversions I might have ever heard.
Hi. All

What R2R deck you got there BBQ?
Hi. J.PUPSTER
Well, I have the AKIA -GX 270 DSS - AKIA 1730 DSS Sansui QD-88008 Sansui needs some work done on it.
The AKIA 1730 DSS if you can pick up a good working condition one it's a good cheap workhorse.

Just got this Project 3 Quad R-R. This Completes My collection of Project 3 Quad R-R Tapes

While not a Quad tape, it's from the Quad era (too bad it WASN'T in Quad), but a neat curiosity from the time.
Sadly, every "Promo" on the tape is the same one. I was hoping it would be like that one Capitol Quad sampler, where the announcer gets a little more involved and mentions the individual songs. Though I find it funny that the announcer does say at the end of each promo "Kris Kristofferson records and tapes - on sale now, in the record department!"
What's a record department?
