4 New Quadio releases coming in June!

[esimms86]

QQ members, git our your wallets and Black American Express graphite charge cards [LOL] and support RHINO's efforts and perhaps if they sell out, Rhino will release more QUAD BD~As from their rich and varied catalog on a more regular basis [like D~V]!

Those analogue tape~based QUAD masters are NOW 50 years old and in desperate need of a digital reissue and maybe NOW RHINO will realize the true GOLD they have in them there hills!

These Quadio releases will, by definition, be of the White RHINO variety, rarely seen in the wild!

 

[esimms86]

WEA also have a lot of announced but not released quads such as 3 on Bearsville.....Todd Rundgren Initiation and Foghat Energized, Rock and Roll Outlaws...
Leo Sayer Another Year , Uriah Heep Return To Fantasy on Atlantic , Deep Purple Burn , Black Sabbath Sabotage on WB , Gordon Lightfoot-
Gord's Gold on Reprise , Carly Simon Another Passenger on Electra ,
Asylum label had The Eagles The Eagles and Desperado.
And 3 or 4 we managed to find out about in the past decade, Van Morrison -Hard-nosed The Highway , Ry Cooder , Stanley Clarke and maybe Neil Young's Time Fades Away .

OMG Fizzy, what an interesting twist in the universe would it be if we could all of a sudden have Gord’s Gold!

Alas, Doc. Look at post #127 from FR.

Hey guys(1). Being a STEM person, I can't help but to do these calculations. These new Quadios at about $30 a pop are much better value than the original CD-4 releases. When the CD-4 versions came out, the list price was $6.98. Figure on them selling in a store like EJ Korvette for $5.98. In 2023 dollars, that is about $41. That was a lot of coin especially for a college kid working part time.

Now I do realize that for that extra 33%, back then we got oodles more for our money. Specifically we also got clicks, pops, wow, flutter and best of all that CD-4 carrier whistle which manifested itself from time to time.


(1) If you listen to my granddaughter, 'guys' is the new gender-neutral pronoun.

Hey ar, don’t forget the fact that a vinyl disc in constant rotation would inevitably lead to you having to buy another new copy of said disc.

Bummer; I spoke too soon. Well, anyway, this thread has become doubly more fun due to the wishes that we can all speak out loud up until the actual 4 releases have their reveal party!

Time to break out the Net Present Value calculation

I think I can tell you that they will be BluRay Audios with stereo and quad mixes. They will pretty much be just like the Chicago Quadio Box and Doobies releases. They will be, well, Awesome!!

I am sure that ForagingRhino worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to get these things released. I am pleased that the forum is solidly behind them, and hope we can show WB/Rhino that there still is a market for high resolution multichannel discs.

Also, I am very honored that Steve chose to make this announcement at this forum. That says a lot about this membership, which makes me sort of proud, you know?

Why they don’t use BD plastic cases?

Why they don’t use BD plastic cases?

No clue, but I'm good with super jewels. Heck they can pack them in satin between cardboard if they want, I'll provide the case.

 

[esimms86]

I’m happy with cardboard cases for Blu Ray discs. Heck, in the past few days I’ve had to ship a pair of Frampton@50 SACDs back to Amazon due to cracked cases. Team Bezos had shipped them individually to me in flat, non protective standard recycled paper packaging.

Cracked CD jewel case art should be the hottest new MOMA exhibit. The ones from DV orders that violate GOS’s Law are especially desireable.

But yeah, the percentage of cracked cases seems to escalate. I simply ignore the cracks and consider them part of the album art.

Until you try to sell them.

my three Framptons came from Intervention. They arrived unscathed - luckily. When I opened the package I was amazed by the poor pack job. A small piece of bubble wrap on 1 side and nothing on the other side. Ive noticed others were not so lucky with their Intervention shipments. And I can see why

Cmon Man ! 5 seconds of time and another $.001 of bubble wrap would solve the problem

In other words, Intervention Records .... needs an INTERVENTION ???

.....'I looked for a quad mix of Gord's Gold in the vault and found nothing'...could it be that maybe all that means is someone else found it???
I think the points that gvl_guy made @ #133 are very close to reality. They will have to be titles/artists that are going to have more than an obscure following. Mainstream enough to appeal to enough people & be viable. In all likelihood, an artist or 2 talked about in this thread will turn out to be correct!
The discussions here about possibilities is great & I love it!..... I'm also totally in when these are released/ ready for pre-order...

 

[J. PUPSTER]

I now realize why I keep missing some of ForagingRhino's posts in the last few pages; it's because he added a new avatar pic; and what is that anyway, some kind of Pizza box???

 

[sperezmore]

Only 4, right?

Here's my list,

Carly Simon - Best Of Carly Simon​

Seals & Crofts - Summer Breeze​

Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly​

Jefferson Starship - Red Octopus

Regards,

Wow up to 8 pages in no time at all.
I will defer any guessing I have put off my last DV order as a stopgap to leave funds available for surprises like this. What a great year for releases 2023 is turning out to be and with Rhino stepping up it gets better and more expensive. Ill be buying what Rhino is selling like everyone else. Just a few weeks away for the titles being announced.

Well not to despair.

There's still both Sundown and Cold On The Shoulder that were released on Reprise.

Or misfiled ,or mislabeled...at least I hope that's what it is.

(But sadly it could be one that almost happened )

just another guess...
