Earth, Wind & Fire - Head to the Sky - Audio Fidelity 4.0 Multichannel SACD (April 2016)

[fredblue]

SQ vinyl too, catalog # CQ 32194. I don't think there are any Columbia quad releases that came out on 8-track only and not vinyl. There are plenty where the opposite is true, vinyl only and no corresponding Q8 like the Mike Oldfield titles, Isley Bros. 'Harvest For The World', O'Jays 'Survival' and 'Family Reunion', Harold Melvin 'Wake Up Everybody', Don Ellis 'Tears Of Joy', the Miles Davis titles, and plenty more.

All good ones, decode pretty respectably through the SQ Surround Master for the most part.. few more SQ-only Columbia (and assoc label) Quads I love that never saw Q8 release (afaik) include.. MFSB/Philadelphia Freedom, Billy Joel/Turnstiles, Bob Dylan/Desire, BT Express/Energy To Burn, Johnnie Taylor/Eargasm, Phoebe Snow/Second Childhood, Loggins & Messina/Native Sons..

Did anyone else get a really tight fitting slipcase, or did I just get an odd one? I don't see anything wrong with it other than it's a bit tough to slip the jewel case in and out of it.

I would say mine is "snug", but not tight.

Mine was the same.

Cboy, a little WD40 should do the trick.

And make sure the CD case is securely closed.

And most importantly, use whiteout to cover the erroneous MONO designations on the rear of the slipcase.

Mine was the same, more so than the other Audio Fidelity SACDs I own.

Snug is a good description for it.

Oh, we're supposed to save the slipcases? I figured y'all threw those out along with the shrink wrap.

Well, they are sort of a butt-pain. I keep mine, of course......

Haha..! Will do Ralphie! :upthumb

Oh don't talk to me about those damned drones!
Crooks were caught using a drone to drop off booty to inmates in HM Prison the other day! Thus marks the end of the "cake with a file in it" days of smuggling stuff into jail I guess..
