That is definitely not true. Buddy Rich Live on King Street was recorded direct into a 16 position SQ encoder to stereo master tape, and monitored live using a Tate SQ decoder to check the encoding was correct. No discrete quad master exists. There are probably other albums that were recorded or mixed in that sort of way, but for that album we know for sure.A discrete version will exist because all Quad matrix versions will be made from a discrete quad master.
