Beaver and Krause Gandharva Japanese QS LP Report

[Sonik Wiz]

I don't want digitized versions. I want the original.

The original would be defined as the 4 ch mix down tape from the multi-tracks. If Quadio releases this on SACD or Blu-ray Pure Audio, you will be hearing the original. Matrix encode/decode to LP or CD will be a compromise.

Our old friend Oxford Dickie claims that Beaver & Krause – In A Wild Sanctuary is quad encoded. By his reckoning it is an unmarked Dyna encode. He offered a download of his decoded "release", but that is no longer available and I haven't heard it so can't comment any further.

That's a new one on me. I've never seen that mentioned anywhere else.

So let me get this straight. All three Beaver & Krause WB albums have dedicated quad mixes: In a Wild Sanctuary is a Dyna-encoded LP, but this is not acknowledged on the jacket or label; Gandharva was issued in SQ in Japan; and All Good Men has a stealth EV encode -- or maybe it doesn't.

The only verified Quad release is the Japanese LP. I own it and copies of the others which do not play in Quad ...

Keep -out for upcoming Rhino Quadio's

I have serious doubts about 'In A Wild Sanctuary' though; I believe @ForagingRhino would have mentioned it, if they existed.

I understand quad tapes exist of All Good Men even though it wasn't issued in quad

Maybe; Gandharva in (most likely) QS. Wild Sanctuary in Dyna (maybe). All Good Men, maybe EV or Dyna.

OD seems certain that "In A Wild Sanctuary" was encoded (choosing DynaQuad by the process of elimination) obviously he ran it through his script based decode process and it must have turned out OK or he would not have "released" it. Does a discrete version exist; I'm guessing not, but I hope that I'm wrong.
