Might be tough to top these, but fingers crossed...

My faves from DV in quad have been:

Weather Report "Tale Spinnin'"
Art Garfunkel "Breakaway"
Return To Forever "Musicmagic"
Earth Wind & Fire "Spirit" & "That's The Way Of The World"
The O'Jays "Ship Ahoy"
Guess Who "The Best of The Guess Who Vol. 2"

Teenage faves, with Special merit:

Rick Derringer "All American Boy"
Ted Nugent "Cat Scratch Fever"
Mott The Hoople "The Hoople"

So, wait you guys, there is no love for Angel Clare and Roy Halee's sublime original quad mix?? I love Breakaway, too, but a song like "I Shall Sing" in quad is not to be missed.

Thanks, sir. The Intruders classic, Save The Children, is another one of those albums that would sound fantastic in quad. Both The Intruders and The Three Degrees came out in 1973. What a year for Gamble, Huff and Sigma Sound!

TSOP!

With DV’s pricing, five’ll get you ten. It’s almost obscene that they ever put on a sale!
