SPOTLIGHT Joni Mitchell The Asylum Albums (1972-1975) (Quadio Boxed Set)

[ar surround]

Why don't you just look them up online?

I guess it's too much work.

Doug

Open up the lyrics source that Clement posted (post #19) in this thread on your phone…Almost as small as those that come with the Blu-ray’s.

No credit for who did the Atmos mixes?

Edit: nevermind. Just found them on the bottom of the box!

I love when people make assumptions. In my case, it is uncomfortable, my computer is not in my listening room.
A phone would not be that pratical.
I would again have appreciated a booklet. For lyrics, for production notes sadly missing here. It is not unusual in a box.

Don't know why they would include a booklet in the Mitchell box when there were none in the Chicago or Doobie Bros sets.

Rhino has given us nice reproductions of the original LPs with these boxed sets. They don’t give anything more (except in the case of the Joni set we got the mini-poster with the comments from Neil Young.)

yes, the type is too small for old guys like me to read. But I personally don’t find a phone to be impractical. Quite the opposite, in fact. While I’m listening to these albums, I’m reading up on them on my phone and getting much more detail than I would get from the liner notes. Sitting in my listening room reading on my phone is no less practical than would be reading a 5 x 5 booklet.

Mine shows it has shipped but the fedex tracking number given by rhino does not exist in fedex’s data base. It has been that way for some time. I sent a inquiry to Rhino yesterday but have not heard from them yet so I don’t know if it has fallen in some black hole.

When did they release the quad for Atlantic Crossing? I can’t find a listing.

It was mixed for QUAD I even saw a jacket for CD-4 cover but never released, at the tail end of QUAD years.

I never understand with all the capacity on bluerays why the lyrics and liner notes arent included as standard. That way you can read the lyrics or any notes if so desired on a big screen while listening. This is something that DVDAs got right most of the time.

Are You sure it's with Fedex? I'd try the shipping number in DHL, USPS or UPS and see if you get a positive hit.

Got The Joni Box, yesterday I got Rumors, today the Quad bundle, (imagine sending all four together), also got “Across the Universe” deluxe 2CD edition. Friday I should get Stop Making Sense 4K and Bridge of Sighs. Been expensive month but it’s my only life I got! I love being single.

No, it didn't show up anywhere but Rhino got back with me and they say they are shipping a replacement. Thanks.

was wondering where my box was and I had to dig into the warner/elektra page to find out my box was delivered to CALIFORNIA(????) on April 22nd...
I reached out to them and they said that it had been returned to them and they are now shipping it to me...
bitching alert/rant...really? I had to TELL them it was RETURNED to them for them to SHIP it back again to me? I guess that if I had not said anything they would have kept my money and had an extra set in stock!!!!
Not digging this people...as someone who has basically worked in LOGISTICS all my life, I'd make sure the package is ALWAYS delivered to the client...
SO HARD GETTING GOOD HELP THESE DAYS!

so , yes, gurls, if you don't get your package from Warner/Elektra , DON'T expect them to remedy the situation on their own...caveat emptor!

Mailman just delivered Joni to me.

The shipping label on the packaging didn't read "Rhino Records Fulfillment" like it usually does - it read "Joni MItchell" on top instead! My wife was impressed that Joni was sending me a package

I would not want any additional cost added to a box set.

Some of us want the tv turned off or dimmed when we are listening. Lyrics and notes are out there to be seen, plenty of essays as well.

Don't know why they would include a booklet in the Mitchell box when there were none in the Chicago or Doobie Bros sets.

Exactly.
Adding another booklet just adds to the weight and cost of the set. When I've opened up these boxes and looked at the contents, I never get the feeling they are bare bones releases. The Joni Mitchell sets looks and feels classy, and covers are very accurate down to the correct embossed paper stock used.

@ForagingRhino , are there any news on a worldwide release that will allow us to purchase from Europe?
Thanks a million

Should go to retail after a 90 day window on Rhino.com.
That would be around the end of July.

Hi - looking to learn more about these QUAD releases and their source -

So far - I found 2 of these albums listed in the Quad Discography and Discogs.com...
JONI MITCHELL -
Court & Spark. Asylum EQ-1001 (CD4), 8Q-1001 (Q8)
The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Asylum EQ-1051 (CD4), 8Q-1051 (Q8)

So for the remaining TWO -
Was the FOR THE ROSES quad mix listed as "A brand new 2023 Quad Mix of FOR THE ROSES was done by Bruce Botnick" never before created in the 70s, OR created yet unreleased, OR actually released in QUAD in the 70s ?
Same with MILES & AISLES live....

Looking for more history on these 2 QUAD releases!

thanks!

I'm undecided if to buy this or not. I'd prefer to listen to Hejira in multichannel (Jaco is still my hero)

Hi there. I bought from Europe. I just had to add the shipping price (box + shipping : $ 97) and 23 euros of VAT (which makes the box pretty costly)
