4 More Quadio titles coming in October!

Black Sabbath “Sabotage”?!?!?!

that one was never released, it didn't get past the mixing stage afaik

Higher sales potential all things being equal.

The second Queen DVD-A/V 5.1 remix was The Game, for entirely the reason of higher sales potential. Sadly it is one of the least suitable Queen albums for a 5.1 mix, being a deliberately stripped back sound. The motto for that album was why use two notes when one will do.

Eight pages of wants, wishes and predictions and not yet a single vote for Mystic Moods Orchestra?

Oh I thought of them and I like “the sea and storm” one pretty well. Or thunder storm or whatever it’s called.

Pretty sure those Mystic Moods albums are no longer controlled by W. They were a licensing deal.

oh yes! good call! why not! after all, there's only one Mystic Moods Quad Brad Miller/DTS didn't cover back when he/they were reissuing them on DTS CD; "Love The One You're With"

I've been emailing Michael Dutton [actually nagging him] to release the first TWO Mystic Moods Orchestra's albums on the PHILIPS LABEL [now UMG] which were remixed for QUAD notably ONE STORMY NIGHT and NIGHTTIDE. The former has an entire and very haunting Brad Miller Railroad track mixed with effective distant thunder/rain effects. And IMO, they're both suitably excellent musically!

BTW , Freddums , I forgot about New Seekers as a soft rock title, good pick .

Well, I never imagined I would hear “New seekers” and “Soft rock” in the same sentence

Well, the US Quad MH is a digital MiA mix, Stormbringer can be improved a lot from the botched DTS release by just leaving the quad mix as it is, Burn was a scheduled release that never came, Made in Japan has a 5.1 mix done by SW that is sitting on a shelf, that leaves out In Rock, Fireball, Who do we thing we are and Come Taste the band with a unknown status of mch mixes. A boxset of the whole MKI-IV with mch mix for each would be a BIG seller.

Meanwhile it turns out Coverdale's The Purple Album is remixed for an October release, and while the set is 2CD+BD-V, there is no surround:

I think JonUrban was a friend of Brad Miller...Brad's vision of MoFi was not the same as the existing company

No, not me. But Tad Bartel was, QQ's 'quadtrade' worked with him at DTS.

Any good country (genre) possibilities? We've gotten quite a few from DV over the years.

 

[fizzywiggs41]

So I suppose "Soft Rock" wouldn't include "Folk Rock" of which there are so many possibilities on WEA...

James Taylor
Carly Simon
Jackson Browne
Maria Muldaur
Judy Collins
Joni Mitchell
Gordon Lightfoot
Randy Newman
Mickey Newbury
Arlo Guthrie
David Gates
Bread
Seals & Croft
America
Early Eagles
Papa John Creach
Ralph Mc Tell

Ya know..as time marches on...groups like the Eagles...which I loved "back in the day"...are viewed differently now...what was once a rock band sometimes morphs into soft rock....when you are in your local grocery store and you hear one of your favorite rock songs being played on a soft rock station..in the store or worse yet...the dreaded instrumental version...grabbing that 6 pack of beer out of the refrigerated section to the mellow sounds of Hotel California without the classic lyrics is a little disheartening

Maybe from Dutton. It was mentioned a while back that Waylon was a definite possibility and that the estate of Jerry Reed was being "difficult". Their track record has also been pretty good with some Charlie Rich, Dottie West and Lynn Anderson.

I hope one of the next Quadios is NOT Bread. We got the Best Of from Audio Fidelity not that long ago and (IMO) it would be a waste of a time to re-issue a title 95% of us already have.

Eagles would make me explode in a cloud of glitter, but I have a funny feeling they'd be better-served with a Boxed set like the Doobies. I would like to think the first two Eagles albums were mixed in Quad and it would make the perfect boxed set, or even a 5-fer with the inclusion of the old 5.1 mix of Hotel California.

I'd say the same thing for Seals and Crofts. Give them a boxed set like the Doobies. They have 4 Quads.

So that leaves us some Joni, Lightfoot, Jackson Browne, Spinners.... nothing magical but hopefully stuff that's never seen the digital world before. At the risk of repeating myself, I'd like to see at least ONE album that was left unreleased. Something *NEW*, "for the first time EVER" would help make a splash.

Yep,,,, especially true with heavy metal. What a lot of folks considered heavy metal in the late 60's and 70's, is practically easy listening compared to what many consider heavy metal today.

Actually, I hope Bread is one of them. I got into this much later than many on here and that one, used, is WAY overpriced. Maybe that means a Quadio issue of it would sell really well?

But I totally agree with you on the box sets. Carly Simon might make an excellent box, too. The Quadio box sets aren't ridiculously priced with outtakes, 10 odd CD's that you'll likely never listen to and some vinyl thrown in. Rhino's boxes were excellent and priced well.

I agree, I'd love it if Rhino came up with a great Quadio album that we all didn't even know had an unreleased quad mix in the vault. There must be a few which we know northing about because a cat# and release date never got set.
