Alan Blazek did One Of These Nights!?! wow.. i'd always assumed (making an *** out of u and me !!)
it was Bill Szymczyk who did the Quad alongside the Stereo!! great sleuthing fizzy! merry Christmas 
nice Pupdate, thanks Dave 
Thanks especially for fleshing out the Aubort/Nickrenz discography, Dave. That was one power couple!
So much great stuff there. I'm glad MoFi released a bit of these quads on SACD, but there's so much more out there.
Naxos owns Vox/Turnabout now, I don't know if they have any interest in a license to D-V, but I imagine they're easier to work with than the majors. They've of course experimented with surround releases several times, and they released a surround blu-ray audio last in 2018, but I think they wrote off the format except for special releases - The Spectacular Naxos Blu-ray Audio Experience

Thanks Adam .
I would have thought the same thing.
Surely Szymczyk had some Quad Supervisory duties as he did mix the stereo album.
A Belated Merry Christmas to you, Adam
Fizzy
There was also one more mentioned in Billboard.
Bill Radice did a quad mix of a Tony Orlando and Dawn album.......
with Appell and Medress producing, (Arista ? WEA? )
(BB 26 APRIL 75 pg 33)

maybe "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)"..?
edit: Radice's credited with doing the Tony Orlando & Dawn Greatest Hits Quad on Arista
Very interesting (and a bit of a surprise) that Allan Blazek did the Eagles' One of These Nights quad mix, but it also makes sense. Bill Szymczyk and Blazek had a production company together called Pandora Productions, so Szymczyk (the higher profile of the two) probably handed the job off to Blazek to do while he went on to his next original production project - Szymczyk produced a bunch of other records in 1975 including J. Geils, Elvin Bishop and REO Speedwagon.
In fact, in Mark Brown's 2010 article about the quad resurgence, he interviewed Symzczyk, who called quad an 'afterthought' and said he had no memory of doing the Eagles quad mix, which makes complete sense now:
“I vaguely remember doing some quad mixes, but it was really as an afterthought.” Of the Eagles’ On the Border and One of These Nights, which both have quad mixes, he says, “To be honest, I don’t remember if I did those or not—but if they’re good, I’ll take credit for them.”
I think stories like this really bear out the validity of the approach we've taken in being conservative with the Quad Engineers list - just because an engineer is listed on a quad sleeve that has reused credits from the stereo release doesn't mean he did the quad mix too, even when it seems likely, like in this case.
This news also makes me wonder if Blazek did the quad mix of another Szymczyk production, Joe Walsh's The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get - as discussed in the poll thread, the quad mix has some deficiencies that make it seem like someone other than Szymczyk (who did the stereo version) did it.
I think Bill Radice did all the Tony Orlando & Dawn quad mixing, but I'm 99% sure the album referred to in that Billboard article is He Don't Love You (Like I Love You) based on the dates. The stereo version of that album was released in April, and the quad version came out at the very end of May 1975 so it lines up perfectly with that article. I'm pretty sure the Greatest Hits album didn't come out until very late '75 or maybe even early '76.

Re : Walsh's Smoker You Drink......album
A good point @steelydave on who did the quad mix of Joe Walsh "The Smoker You Drink Player You Get" album,
a quick check on the album's back cover lists a number of quad mix luminaries .

Here are 2 you may or may not know.
Mark Smith at Sound City, Van Nuys California mixing in quad BTO- Not Fragile . (no surprise there)
Billboard Oct 12 1974 page 54.
The Souther Hillman Furay Band - Trouble In Paradise , was enginered by Jeff Guercio.
(Billboard June 28th 1975 ; 7)

Mark Smith's credit for Not Fragile has been added, along with credits for BTO I & II thanks to the recent D-V SACD release.
The credit for Jeff Guercio engineering the Trouble in Paradise album both in that advertisement and on the LP jacket is just a general engineering credit, and doesn't specifically reference quad at all. Given that Tom Dowd (who has a whole bunch of quad remix credits to his name) produced that album I think it's equally, or even more likely that he did the quad mix, so I don't think we can really attribute it to anyone until more information emerges.

This list was submitted a couple of months ago but it's taken a while to get it up on the QQ web server - in the meantime I've collated another dozen or so entries that will probably be added in a month or two.
Yes ok I'm good with that. Thanks Steely.
At best it's an inference as he was the engineer. I just thought it might be relevant given the year of the article being so close to when WEA US "threw in the towel".
I'm trying to find more CD-4 mix credits as I have some back issues of the CD-4orum .

Well I finally got around to perusing my copies of the CD-FORUM , with editors : John Eargle (JME Associates) , and then later on , John M. Woram of Woram Audio Associates as cheif editors .
Interesting stuff on the progress of CD-4 , fwiw.
I was chiefly trying to find out about who the quad mix engineers and quad producers were involved in the CD-4 Releases.
Interesting factoid on Arista Records entry into the quad playground .
Clive Davis , President of Arista announced in Jan 1976 they had picked CD-4 as their choice of quad.
Their first CD-4 Albums appeared sometime in February 1976 .
Mixing engineers for Arista are not mentioned , at least not in this publication of CD-4 .
but there were some other labels mentioned , with the quad mix Producers and Engineers.
I' ll start with the next post .

Reviews of two recent RCA albums in CD-4 reveal interesting information on the quad mix process.
First up is : The Classic film scores of Dimitri Tiomkin - Lost Horizon
Production and balance engineering credits go respectively to George Korngold.. and K. E. Wilkinson, an engineer on staff at the British Decca Company.
Beethoven - The Five Piano Concertos , Arthur Rubenstein , piano ; Daniel Barenboim , conductor London Philharmonic Orchestra.
"Again we have the superb balance engineering of K. E. Wilkinson with producer Max Wilcox ."
