My package of the other 3 (sans Paranoid) arrived today in Australia. No damaged cases. Got to say the tracking info provided by UPS is sub-par. From initial shipping it apparently sat in Fontana for a week before making its way to the International Carrier on July 6. No further updates until today where the tracking indicated it had been delivered! Still, I guess that's better than for those that have no shipping info at all.
I got my shipping notice today for Paranoid.
That is an understated reason why all titles are selling decent in this recent series. It made sense to grab one or grab them all - unless finances did not permit. Had they been $30 or $35 each I'm pretty sure we'd have seen many folks grabbing their two faves and passing on the other two.

These discs have made a sensational and International impact on the surround listeners it seems. Paranoid and Nightmares not being offered in Europe has made them have an air of "exclusivity" about their release in quad. One can tell these are being shipped out to all corners of the world.
It's still exciting to me, and I'm glad that there were not very much competing of discs in quad being issued at the same time by Sony and DV. It's pretty great that these made the splash they deserve. Even the shipping nightmare for some (or most of us) has not ruined my appreciation of this stack of goodies.

(the stereo version of Paranoid) - I discovered I have 2 copies of the stereo version (2003 CD, 2009 deluxe CD/DVD) and now the 2023 Blu-ray, anyone compared these versions (I don't have any way to do an A/B listening test) to see if there's much, if any, audible difference?

Mine arrived today in rural Oz via Australia Post, two packages. Both sent from Vista, CA (ordered 23rd; mailed 28th.), so 16 days to get here (which is usual for overseas stuff sent to me).
I wonder if the bundle was split in two to reduce postage costs? Maybe two deliveries of 10oz + 4oz (as the labels say) is cheaper than one delivery of 14oz?

Loving the clarity of Paranoid - who ever thought Sabbath would sound better when the murk was lifted?! Haha. Subtle parts like tamborines have never been obvious to me before.
BdollarB is a great adventurous mix. I've always been slightly on the fence with this album, but the quad really does work with the Alice insanity!
J Geils is new to me, and the fidelity is perhaps not as great as the previous two, but the album itself is great. Tempted to explore more of their output.
Red Octopus.... not my thing at all. That's remained sealed and may or may not already be on a famous auction site, haha.

It's quite amazing how a multi-channel mix can resolve an album that is hard to get into. I had that with the Quad mix of Bitches Brew, suddenly the congestion cleared and it made sense. Also the 5.1 of Young Americans, an album I felt unsure of. (Doesn't always work, tried to like Heavy Horses, but still didn't)
Still no sign of a shipping notice but the balance of my bundle arrived today.
Even better no customs charges on either package.

Great news everybody!
I had mentioned these discs to a coworker who is a old school hard rock/metal fan and mentioned that I'd have to bring in Paranoid for him because it was sold out - but it looks like they must have pressed more because both Paranoid and the bundle are showing as in stock again.

Yep, Foraging Rhino announced that on Tuesday (post 2816).
My patience was finally up and I contacted Rhino today. I ordered the bundle on June 23, and see my credit card was charged the same day. Since then, nothing. Order status simply says "NEW", no info on shipping, nothing.
This is a big fat F grade to Rhino's shipping department.

I finally got my bundle today. Tomorrow when I open the 2 very small packets I'll see if I'm lucky enough not to get any cracks or something worse on the jewel cases. Never seen such small packages and I guess very little protection inside. Fingers crossed
Just checked the mailbox with bated breath and…
Nothing. Again.
Have to try again on Monday

Get an early CD pressing for the stereo version, one of the 1986 or 1987 issues. Much better than the later releases that got added compression.
The quad version is a different mix with some different effects/edits in addition to the 4-channel sound.
Good multichannel and good cannabis genuinely open up an album. Old, aggressive quad mixes especially since they were made for four equal channels, there didn't have to be a "front".
Two Shipping notifications received..Paramoid and the others
