Chicago Quadio - 9 Quad Albums on Blu-ray Audio.

[Clint Eastwood]

We try, but we almost always fail. Besides, he WAS talking about the actual title and comparing it to another version. Isn’t that something we always do in poll threads?

I wasn't talking about HIM(being off topic)..I wanted various members to welcome him to the forum...like we usually do to new members... but I didn't want to start that welcoming process on a poll thread and drive the off topic train off the tracks

I remember reading here that there are issues with the stereo tracks in IX, and no fix was provided (IIRC).

I received 2 corrected discs, though I can't remember which. II & III maybe? And I only asked for one replacement, because I didn't know about the 2nd!

I suppose it's too late to get the corrected disks...

I don't know if Rhino has any more, or if there was a deadline. Couldn't hurt to ask. All they required was an invoice.

Many thanks! Got the box at ebay, so I guess no invoice-no chance. Will ask anyway.

I do. After the disk is ripped, on stereo systems.

 

[Ninecats]

I do, actually nearly every time I get a new MCH release I always start with the stereo version.

 

[perzon57]

I never,ever play the stereo tracks on any disc I buy.

 

[edisonbaggins]

I listen to the stereo as a reference sometimes, to compare how closely the MC honors the original vibe or not.

I did a search on this site which came back ‘no results’, so now I’m going to mention Leonid and Friends. They’re a group of Russian musicians who do covers, mainly of Chicago songs. Close your eyes and you’d think they’re the real thing. They seem to tour the USA quite often, so I feel you’re a Chicago fan and they play near you, they’re worth checking out. They’re incredible.
Ps sorry if they have in fact been discussed previously, but I’m an infrequent visitor and haven’t scrolled through every page.

The two corrected discs that were available directly via Rhino are the first album and the greatest hits.

"Were" seems to be right. I wrote rhino asking about them and got no reply.

Nope. I jumped the gun.

Got a reply from Rhino:

"In the meantime, please reply with the following information (if not already provided):

— your name & shipping address

— an image of your defective item and/or store receipt..."

This last (image of your defective item) means that if you get it from an (the) ebay seller they will honor the replacement.

Thanks Rhino!!!

Chicago (II), the 2nd album. Not the first one.

Weren't the issues on one of the earlier ones and the corresponding tracks on the best of? I remember getting replacement discs, but I can't remember checking them!

Yes. For whatever reason, what was side 2 of the Chicago (II) LP — “Wake Up Sunshine” and “Ballet For A Girl In Buchannon” are in mono. On the Greatest Hits disc, “Make Me Smile” and “Colour My World”, both from the “Ballet”, are in mono.

A bit odd since “Make Me Smile” is an edit from two different tracks. So it appears that rather than using the original stereo master for the Greatest Hits album they recreated it from the stereo masters they used for the other albums. Including recreating this ‘single’ edit.

I stand corrected. I glance at the disc label that shows Chicago and assumed it was Chicago Transit Authority.

It will be interesting what the cost of this will be. I totally do not remember what I paid for Chicago Quadio, though I was an early adopter and I'm sure I got a very decent price. So, per disk, how will they compare?

I recall paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $110 for Chicago from ImportCDs. Retail shows as $160

That was 10 discs so I’m thinking $60? $70? on the street

Yeah, I think you're right about Chicago.

 

[J. PUPSTER]

One thought. Will the albums have silent centre/LFE so that the systems that can't cope with 4.0 can play them?

I don't remember, was the Chicago 4.0?
