- Start date
Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
Quad was a thing for about 10 years, most of the 70's really but the peak years were c.73-75.
during that time a number of artists indeed only had 1 or 2 Quad releases but a surprising amount had multiple Quad albums.
artists with more than 2 Quad releases include Santana (13), Jeff Beck (4), Chicago (8), The Isley Brothers (5), Andy Williams (8), Johnny Mathis (8), Spinners (3), Carly Simon (5), The Doobie Brothers (4), Aerosmith (3), Edgar Winter (4), Johnny Winter (3), Poco (4), Dave Mason (3), The O'Jays (5), Billy Paul (3), Billy Joel (3), Al Green (8), Mac Davis (5), The Friends Of Distinction (5), Kris Kristofferson (5), Barbra Streisand (8), Bob Dylan (3), Loggins & Messina (3), Blood Sweat & Tears (4), Sly Stone (3), Pink Floyd (3), Steely Dan (3), The Stylistics (5), The Temptations (3), Marvin Gaye (3), Diana Ross/Supremes (5), Tony Orlando & Dawn (3), Bachman Turner Overdrive (5), B.B. King (7), The Four Tops (3), Quincy Jones (4), Joan Baez (5), Rick Wakeman (3), Carpenters (6), Carole King (4), Larry Coryell (4), Mike Oldfield (4), Harry Nilsson (3), Henry Mancini (14), Percy Faith (9), Ray Conniff (12), Hugo Montenegro (7), Perry Como (3), Charlie Rich (5), Elvis Presley (8), Ronnie Milsap (3), Dottie West (3), Charley Pride (14), Jose Feliciano (6), Jefferson Starship (3), Hot Tuna (5), Earth Wind & Fire (4), Paul Simon (3), Herbie Hancock (4), The Guess Who (11), The Moody Blues (6) & Tomita (7).
getting WEA specific, this phenomenon really only impacts a handful of acts, incl. Chicago (8), The Doobies (4), The Spinners (3), Jefferson Starship (3), Hot Tuna (5) & Carly Simon (5).

Well, I just went to Rhino's site today to order a recent vinyl release, and after much time and many attempts, cannot get the site to accept the order.
It seems some things never change.
This is hardly my first problem purchasing through Rhino, and from what I've seen and heard, this was nothing new.
All the past issues, all the issues we had ordering the last batch, and now today I can't even get an order in just demonstrates how completely and utterly out of touch Rhino has become!
At this point, there really is no excuse. Rhino cannot possibly be unaware of the issues and problems their paying customers are having, there have been more than enough complaints raised directly to the company over months/years. And yet, nothing has changed. This leaves me with only one possible conclusion - THEY DO NOT CARE!
They do not care about their customers.
They do not care if you get your order or not.
They don't even care if their website works adequately to take everyone's order.
I'm sorry - I love the products. I want these new discs, even though I don't even know what they will be yet. But I cannot say one good thing about this company until they find a way to redeem themselves, and demonstrate they care, and have taken measures to fix these glaring issues.
Until then, they will not see another dime out of me!

I would love to be shocked with any of the mixed/unreleased quads...
Van Morrison
Ry Cooder
Neil Young
Led Zeppelin( but I'll pass if it's Song Remains the Same)
Or any quad/mixed/unreleased, that we don't know about!!!
Those would be sure fire purchases.

Well there you go. You stuck to the 'man' !
Myself, I'm taking my chances because the payback is enormous.
I assume you tried a different browser? That was what did the trick for many folks.
As a very young kid I wanted a quad system and could not have one. Even when quad was fading out and the Q8s were appearing in the cutout bins and used market, the quad deck, amp and additional speakers was just a bridge to far.
So I was playing quad tapes listening to only the front channels, and then listening to the rears after that to get an idea what I should be hearing. That is really pathetic, and a bit sad.
So now decades later these quad masters are coming out and I’m finally hearing them sounding perfect and right. And the results are mostly wonderful. Especially for the ones never issued on reel to reel tapes, the quality we are hearing is pretty much astounding imo.
So I’ll jump through all the hoops I need to to get these discs. I won’t be going without. Even if delivery times are rather poor it’s still better than the decades I waited to hear them. We are now in the home stretch with still lots of really cool ones to look forward to.

Don't feel so bad. As a penniless high schooler when I got into Quad in the nineties.... I had nothing more than a Panasonic Q8 deck, plugged into two completely different stereo receivers, and since I had NO money for speakers, I was using a large pair of "can" type headphones for the "front" channels, and another, smaller.... walkman style set of headphones for the "rear" channels all stuck to my head. It was Live, It was Memorex, but was it Quad? It would be a few more years before my old man would commit suicide and I would "inherit" the princely sum of $40,000 that I would actually invest money into a true, fully vintage Quad system.
As as a kid, with no money for recording gear, I had dismantled a headphone to use it as microphone. And then I would record on a small mono tape recorder, and placed a bit of cardbox over the eraser head to record over previously recorded takes

It can be cache or cookies issues. Switching to Incognito mode in the browser can help with those.
I had two microphones I used as a set of headphones, and they sounded pretty fine too. I still have them in an electronic junk box. I saw them not long ago. And this was 1972/73 I did this. I can't believe I saved them to this day.As as a kid, with no money for recording gear, I had dismantled a headphone to use it as microphone.

The bundle deal will be available on Rhino.com just like last time (with everything shipping together!) No idea if what the UK Dig! store will take.
1 Warner (Bros.)
1 Reprise
2 Atlantic
Carry on...

Well that rules out Joni, Carly and Jackson.....
So to refine my previous guesses....
The singer/songwriter will come from Reprise and will therefore be Gordon Lightfoot or Randy Newman.
The soft rock will come from Warner Brothers and will therefore be Seals & Crofts.
The Atlantic titles will be the jazz & r&b. Duke Ellington & The Spinners.

One of these days, someone is going to guess all the forthcoming titles before they’re announced and win the prize. 
Knowing that one is from Reprise really narrows that one down. The Reprise Checklist shows that the label only released ten quad LPs (and one quad reel, plus an announced but never released Hendrix title). Five of the Reprise quads were Frank Sinatra titles. The Sinatra catalog is no longer controlled by Reprise (Universal now distributes the Sinatra catalog). So that only leaves two Gordon Lightfoot albums, two Randy Newman albums, an Arlo Guthrie album and a Maria Muldaur album. (I really want the Newman albums!).

The Hendrix estate would never allow it but I would love a Quadio of Crash Landing as bastardized as it is....

They have to have one strong album leading the next group of four out of the possibilities discussed Im betting its Sundown.
Which is good because it keeps our (current) expectation in check, while it gives us something great to look forward to in the near future (I think), a next batch.
America is coming at some point, but S&C might be the one this time. And it could be Summer Breeze, but my pick would be Diamond Girl.
The two Atlantic albums are the biggest mystery to me. Lot of good stuff there that they can choose from. Roberta Flack and Charles Mingus would be my choices, but so many calling for Spinners, they can't be denied. AWB said to be a stunning quad mix?
Sundown was a top charting album and single. Mobile Fidelity considered it "audiophile" enough that they issued it on their 1/2 speed mastered series. I'm in agreement there, but I do like both Randy Newman albums equality as I do the Lightfoot which is the peak commercial album of his entire career.
I also want the Newman albums soon too, but I'm not worried if they are not included in the next batch, they will get released eventually, and we need both of them not just one.

Spinners first seems logical. AWB really IS a stunning quad mix...
The soft rock could be James Taylor (who would also fit into that singer/ Songwriter category.)
