[Q-Eight]

Don't know how anybody could NOT like the Quad mixes of Jim Croce stuff. My only critical thought is that, like many ABC titles, the mixer gets a little carried away with the canned echo. But other than that, it's a great, fun listen. When drums are a major part of the song, they're front and wide. When they're not an important instrument, they're in a back channel - very similar to the Sly Stone/Greatest Hits tape. Personally, I dig ALL the Jim Croce Quads. Just wish they'd have potted up the electric guitars on "Five Short Minutes".

It's so great to have many of the best hits of the late great Jim Croce here and remixed in Quad. It's indeed one of my most wanted Quad remixes in my collection after hearing the stereo versions for ages.
