A Special Preview of Quadio

[4-earredwonder]

We could have gotten another Grover Washington Jr. Quad? As well as Sun Ra?

And how 'bout this one Jack?

JOE WALSH -
So What. Command CQD-40017 (QS)
{Rumor has it that this was mixed in quad and presented to the record
company as a quad only release. For some reason they were not
interested. One track from the quad mix was released on "KOSS-
Perspectives/The New Sound of Koss.....A Psycho-Acoustic Odyssey.
KQD-75 (QS)" listed on the anthology/sampler page. This leads us
to believe that it was mixed for quad but never released}

I'm actually not familiar with Joe Walsh, but one look at Wikipedia and I can tell how significant this release is!

A MUCH SOUGHT after release but it's now wallowing in the vaults of UMG which now owns the Command label.......does it still exist????????

Guaranteed would sell like proverbial HOTCAKES!

Is UMG anti-surround? I can't remember. They certainly are pro-SACD...

Hell no! They are among the biggest proponents of Atmos music right now.

Absolutely NOT but with all that controversy surrounding the 2007 FIRE which destroyed countless multi track masters, who knows if this 'treasure' survived?

Epic! So sooner or later we should get some quad reissues, right?

This list compiled by Mark Anderson [QUADRAPHONIC DISCOGRAPHY] of QUAD recordings which received a catalogue number BUT WERE NEVER RELEASED might be quite helpful although looking over the list some titles HAVE BEEN released in a digital format in SURROUND over the years

Did we already confirm that these three are a no-go? I may not have read every post.

Or is the gold mining expedition all done now.

EDDIE HARRIS - Sings the Blues - Atlantic QT-1625
LES McCANN - Talk to the People - Atlantic QT-1619
DIONNE WARWICK - Track of the Cat - Warner Bros. BS4-2893

My guess: if TEST PRESSINGS of a lot of these rumoured QUADs still exist, then more than a few were indeed remixed into QUAD. Bitches Brew and LIVE EVIL are two examples as both were recently released by SONY Japan in special 7" packaging.

While the album leaves a few things to be desired in my mind, my credit card would not have said no to a quad of Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live.

Would also be amenable to SONY Japan releasing this classic as well [and it did exist as a Robbins QUAD reel]

BLOOMFIELD & KOOPER -
Live Adventures Of. Columbia # unknown (SQ) (Q8)
{Unreleased quad reel from the Mike Robbins collection were sold to
collectors, formats are assumed, Sides 1,3 & 4 of the stereo LP}

You bet! The part of my personality that likes things to be part of a series means I’d be thrilled to have a Sony Japan version sitting next to my other Sony Japan Jeff Beck quads.

So I think you are saying that Dionne Warwick is still unknown at this point? Why would you leave out the most potentially (maybe) promising detail of the entire post?

Found a Quad master for Track Of The Cat...

 

[Old Quad Guy]

Is ZZ Top a possibility?

There was supposedly an unreleased “Fandango” in addition to the title that was released.

MFSB on strings and horns; could be a winner. Don’t forget the Embossed cover

 

[DuncanS]

I had a vision of something akin to Warehouse 13, where all those hidden Quad masters are desperately trying to escape!

I guess that is a no.

Who owns “Grand Funk Railroad?” Or the Tommy James catalog?
