PURPOSE OF THE QUAD DISCOGRAPHY FORUM
I asked Jon to create this forum so folks could question or challenge current entries in the discographies or list missing items to be added to the discographies.
As an example, I recall some posts a few years ago questioning if the ABC quads were real or just a marketing ploy.
Or how about those ovation titles that came out in quad after the stereo version was issued?
The one benefit I saw of having the discography on line in 1995 was it opened discussion on items that were thought not to exist that actually did or titles we thought did exist and through a common consensus of the quad community determined that they did not.
I know of many titles that were test pressings, but have never made a list due to their rarity and lack of info (matrix numbers. etc.) or actual proof.
Years ago I had conversations with a fellow who worked for Fantasy records. He mentioned that JVC had a mastering lab above his office in California and that he has a test pressing copy of Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here in the CD-4 format.
My mission of the discography was to list documented facts to clear up confusions like does Pink Floyd - Animals really exist. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen it listed in record collecting guides for around $30. I would pay a lot more than that if it really existed.
I created the rumor page for topics like that and guess that Sgt. Pepper should be listed there.
Thanks for everyone’s input and look forward to more fun facts, questions and rumors. You could not find a more knowledgeable group of quad experts than here.
