Wait it gets even better....(not)
TIM: You are looking for something that doesn't really exist. Do you know what it costs to do a surround mix?
The changes in the artwork were for marketing purposes; these titles were packaged 3 times. The two different DTS "CD" examples you showed and the DVD-A super-jewel boxes. As quad fanatics know, the EXACT same mix and disc were inserted in each of these packages. Go to quadraphonicquad.com (I'm a moderator there) and look up the individual disc reviews. It will detail the source tapes used and details about how they sound in DTS delivery.
JOE: I did not mean to upset you. I am just stating facts. The versions that you sent me are definately the 4.0 mixes from the 70's Quadraphonic days. I have the Quad 8 track tapes to prove this. I also have purchased other 70's album that were first produced in this 4.0 mix format and have been reproduced in 5.1 mixes. All of these 5.1 mixes are packaged with the same black banner as what you pictured in your auction. I know that 5.1 mixes exist for the 2 albums from your auction. I have talked with people that own the 5.1 disc version. Don't tell me that they don't exist. Get your facts straight. Some websites are just peoples opinion and not necessarily fact. I have been buying and listening to Multi-Channeled recordings since 1973. Let's settle this thing and go on. Send me $15.00 and that will end this story. It's only fair.
TIM: Quad listener since June 1972 myself; I know the game. When you used the word "misrepresent" you set me off so I'm just as stubborn about this. You're telling me these were issued twice, first as 4.0 and then again as 5.1?? True, Band On the Run was corrected to restore the 1st 3 guitar notes and the disc is a different color. We have the story and pictures here:
https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/QQ-beatles.htm
In 1996, when Mobile Fidelity founder Brad Miller re-energized the surround sound music scene with DTS and the Millennium decoder, one of the first quad titles he went back and resurrected was Band On the Run. First released in a standard sized jewel case, the new technology DTS CD allowed people with modern surround systems to hear the quad mixes that had until then been "lost" in the dead format wasteland of consumer electronics. Once the DVD-Audio format entered the marketplace, the DTS CD was repackaged (above right) in the larger jewel case - however it was NEVER released as a true DVD-Audio disc. All of the larger case discs were still DTS CDs.
FYI - Our forum includes Tad Bartel who was directly involved with procuring titles for DTS from label masters. That's quadraphonicQuad.com.

I offer 100% satisfaction money back guarantee and that's what I'm prepared to do. Return the discs that you feel you were mislead on and we'll call it a day. I'll pay the postage. We're going to wrap this up so that it never even happened. My responsibility is 100% refund as stated in the auction text, NOT to cut deals and argue. Nuff said.
JOE: I went to website, there is no mention of the difference between of the channeling of the McCartney discs. I have both formats of both McCartney discs 4.0 and 5.1. I can here a totally separate sound coming out of the center channel on both 5.1 discs. I hear bass coming out of my subwoofer on both 5.1 discs. There is no center or subwoofer channel on the 4.0 discs. You should have a listen if you have these discs. As for misrepresenting the discs in your ad, you are responsible for what goes into the ad, not ebay. If entering the UPC code does not display what you are selling, you should not post the auction that way. In any case, I’ll send the discs back. I’ll expect the $33.08 I’ve already paid plus the shipping cost to send it back.
TIM: reply will be added when I get home and off webmail (send the damn discs back and I'll refund everything)
