A TRIBUTE TO QUAD's UNSUNG HEROES

So I'd been meaning to update the quad engineers list for ages, and the COVID lockdown these past few months has finally given me some time to dig into a bunch of tasks including this one.

When @fredblue and I first started putting together this list in 2015, I was kind of insistent that we didn't add anything that was guesswork or otherwise unsubstantiated, because I didn't want it to be the kind of thing where we were turning rumours into gospel truth.

Take for example, the discogs entry for Billy Joel's Turnstiles - there's no quad remix credit on the sleeve, but someone's added Don Young's name to the discogs page based on the fact that he did the quad mixes for Joel's previous two albums, Streetlife Serenade and Piano Man. A quick look at the stereo LP credits however, shows that Bruce Botnick was the engineer - I think it's far more likely that Botnick did the stereo and quad mixes at the same time (like he did with Weather Report's Tale Spinnin' for example, another quad LP with no quad remix credit) and that's why they didn't bother updating the sleeve. But as far as discogs is concerned, Don Young is the quad remix engineer and the only evidence is hearsay - that's the kind of thing I was trying to avoid.

So we basically erred on the side of caution in the creation of the original list, only adding credits where there where there was an explicit "quadraphonic remix engineer" credit. However, in the last five years or so, I've learned a ton about the labels, engineers and studios involved in this stuff thanks to all the writing I've done (not to mention my own independent research) so I have a much better grasp on who did what (and where), and what LP sleeve credits mean.

Because we only added explicitly credited quad engineers (for the most part) it meant that certain labels (like the CBS family, Columbia, Epic, PIR, etc.) were disproportionately represented because they credited quad remixes, whereas labels like RCA and Elektra (and many others) didn't. I wanted to try and go some way to rectify this - my original plan was to add all the RCA quad remix credits from D-V releases (which we've gleaned from the master tape boxes) along with sleeve credits from a few labels that did single-inventory quad releases like Ovation/Black Jazz and Impulse, because I now understand that the engineering credits on those LPs were for the quad mix, and I actually discovered that many of them actually mention quad remixing in some form, even if the engineering credit isn't specifically credited as "quadraphonic remix engineer."

After I got through doing Ovation and Impulse, I kinda fell down the rabbit hole of single inventory quad releases, and I figured if I was going to do it, I might as well go through @Mark Anderson 's quad discography (can I just say again, what a resource that is!) and dig out every single-inventory quad release I could find, and add a remix credit. The result is that I've added almost 450 new credits to the Quad Engineers Database, almost doubling its size from around 500 credits to about 975.

I've added complete or mostly complete quad remix credits for the following labels: ABC Bluesway, Audio Lab (Japan), Bellaphon (Germany), Black Jazz, Creative World (Stan Kenton), Horizon (A&M sub-label), Impulse!, Intercord, Kosmiche Muzik (Germany), Mirror, Ovation, Passport, Project 3, Pye, Stanyan, USTI, and new or partial credits for Audio Spectrum (the first 4 101 Strings albums), BASF Germany, Capitol-EMI, CBS (including many CBS Japan), RCA (single inventory quadradiscs + DV releases), Toshiba-EMI Japan (Pro-Use series, and a few others), United Artists, WEA, and Virgin Records.

I've also made some alterations to the format of the table - I added a column for release year, and the database should now sort an engineer's credits chronologically, so if you look up Don Young for example, you can see how his mixing career progressed from 1972 to 1978. I also split the credits so that for any album with more than one engineer, each engineer gets a separate credit, with the notes section (usually) indicating that the album was mixed with others.

Speaking of the notes section, I also added significant new information to it - for most single-inventory releases, I've added the producer's name preceded by 'P:' because they would've been involved in the creation of the quad mix - this means guys like Ed Michel and Enoch Light get far more recognition because there were many quad LPs they were involved with where they didn't actually get an engineering credit. I've also added all of Columbia's "quadraphonic sound and remix supervisors" (using the abbreviation 'QSS:' - Quad Sound Supervisor) so chaps like Al Lawrence, Harold J. Kleiner, and Warren Vincent can finally get their due. I've also added any specifically credited quadraphonic producers ('QP:') and assistant quad engineers ('AQE:') as well.

There were a handful of LPs that I wasn't able to find pictures of or information about - if anyone has the following and can provide either the engineering credits or a photo of the same, I'd be grateful. This is what I'm looking for:

Various Artists - The Drums (Impulse! ASH-9272-3) (probably Ed Michel and Baker Bigsby)
Tony Mottola - Close to You (Project 3 PR 5050 SQ) (probably Steve Friedman)
Sammy Kaye - Swing and Sway (Project 3 PR 5065 QD) (probably Friedman)
Enoch Light - Greatest Movie Themes of the Decade 1964-1974 (Project 3 PR 5081 SQ) (probably Friedman)
Enoch Light - Serendipity (Project 3 PR 5093 Q) (probably Friedman)
Victor Silvester's Strings - Music of Tchaikovsky (Pye NSPL 41008)
Yorkshire Imperial Metal Band - Superstar Brass (Top Brass (Pye) TBX 3008)
Royal Chatham Engineers - Concert Parade (Top Brass (Pye) TBX 3010)

And last but not least, while I hope everyone will go and have a look through the database itself (you have to click the 'Quad Engineers' tab at the top) as @HomerJAU has put a lot of work into making it functional and user friendly, I thought I'd paste a list of all the new credits here so people can see what was added rather than trying to have to sift through the list and figure out what's new and what was already extant.

Dave, just got in this Brubeck title to decode QS and it appears to me, to be mostly up front with only some light ambience in the rears; so not sure what's been said about this "Stealth Quad" elsewhere, but unless I missed a post, I'm not convinced it's encoded (also it is 'Live' BTW.) Or maybe I got the wrong release etc?

fizzywiggs post about Dieter Dierks piqued my interest and I went through the quad discography because I vaguely knew there were a bunch of SQ quad releases that originated in Germany. It turns out that Dierks was involved with most of them, either because they were mixed at his studio (Dierks Studios) or he engineered, mixed/remixed or produced the albums himself. See below:

(The titles with no square bracket attribution are German titles I have no info on.)

Most of the credits are pretty vague, ie they don't say 'quadraphonic remix' or similar, but at the same time I think a lot of these may have been single-inventory releases (ie no separate stereo mix), so it may be possible to attribute credit to Dierks for some of these quad mixes. Perhaps someone knowledgeable about the German quad scene could chime in...
Would love to hear some of these in quad. Especially the Dyzan albums!..
 
We're really veering in to the territory of the unprovable here, but based on the chronology below I think it's possible that Geoff Emerick did more quad mixes than the two we've been able to credit him with. This is his activity during the 'quad years':

1973 Paul McCartney & Wings 'Band On The Run' [CREDITED]
1974 America 'Holiday' [NO QUAD CREDITS] (Recorded & mixed at AIR Studios)
1974 Mahavishnu Orchestra 'Apocalypse' (scheduled but unreleased quad mix, recorded/mixed @ AIR Studios)
1975 America 'Hearts' [NO QUAD CREDITS] (Recorded at Record Plant but mixed at AIR Studios)
1975 Jeff Beck 'Blow By Blow' [NO QUAD CREDITS] (Recorded at AIR Studios - engineering credited to "Denim Bridges")
1975 Karthago 'Rock 'N Roll Testament' [CREDITED] (Mixed at AIR Studios)
1975 Wings 'Venus & Mars' [CREDITED]
1976 Jeff Beck 'Wired' [NO QUAD CREDITS] (partially recorded at AIR Studios & partially mixed at Caribou Ranch)

I know the 'Denim Bridges' thing is slightly tenuous, but would someone of George Martin's stature really use an unknown engineer to record Jeff Beck?

I think what's clear from this chronology is a couple of things - one is that AIR Studios in London must have been equipped for quad, based on the fact that the inner cover of the Karthago album specifically states "remixed by Geoff Emerick at AIR Studios, London, Dec. '74". Then you can see that even when Emerick recorded elsewhere for George Martin (ie America's 'Hearts' at the Record Plant in California) they took the tapes back to AIR Studios to do the mix. In the case of Wired, they did some of the mixing at Caribou Ranch, which belonged to James William Guercio, Chicago's producer - Caribou was definitely quad equipped because Wayne Tarnowski did the quad mixes of the Chicago albums there. I guess the only way to find out for sure would be if someone could ask the man himself.

It's also interesting that Columbia Records didn't seem to credit quad remix engineers for it's British acts, when it was very dilligent about doing so for almost all of it's other releases. I wonder if a back-cover credit was a union requirement for its American engineers, or if it was just because when the tapes were sent over from the UK they didn't include the information? In particular I'm thinking of the following:

Argent - In Deep
Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow
Jeff Beck - Wired
Mott The Hoople - The Hoople
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Some of Zappa's Sleep Dirt was recorded at Caribou - maybe in quad?...
 
Amazing work, zabble!

In a previous life (and decade) I used to run a website for the band Chicago which is now long-defunct. One of the things I had on it was an interview with Wayne Tarnowski (who did most of the Chicago quad mixes) conducted by a member of the Chicago mailing list. I was able to retrieve it via the Wayback Machine on archive.org and I've included it below - it only touches briefly on the quad mixes he did but I thought it might be interesting to read nonetheless.
This is great! Thank you. Being a horn player, Chicago was my band. One of the first concerts I attended was Chicago/Beach Boys- Day On The Green(Oakland, Ca).
Unfortunately, I missed the boat on the Quadio Box...

If enough of us show an interest, and make our wishes known to Rhino, maybe they'll reissue the Chicago box! I missed out on it, too, and I really wanted it. If we can convince them to reissue it, I'll be first in line to order it.
 
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
Naxos has begun remastering and reissuing some of those Aubort/Nickrenz titles in new "Audiophile Editions." CD and streaming only, so far, although 24/192 FLAC downloads are available at Presto Music. And I don't believe any of those albums released so far (16?) ever had quad mixes.
