thanks for the reminder
picked up a few of these h/k beasties over the years but don't remember a thing about them now so definitely time for a refresher!

WHAAAAT?!? I had NO idea! Call Me is one of my all-time favorite albums! "Jesus is Waiting" is truly transcendent. The whole album–from start to finish–is truly transcendent! What an amazing 35-minute trip. But what's more amazing is how many Al Green albums released in Quad show up when i do a discogs search:
https://www.discogs.com/search?q=al+green+quadraphonic&type=allMan, what i wouldn't give for a Quadio Box Set of those releases! I do own the DVD-A of his Greatest Hits, and it's one of the treasures of my collection. To get those seven studio releases i found on the discogs page would be a dream come true!

sha-la-la-la there's a whopping 8 Al Green Quads in all! (7 studio albums from '69-'74 and the G.Hits comp) all on Q8 and (i think some but not all?) maybe made it out on Q4 as well? its been a while since i played any but i don't remember being totally knocked out by some of the mixes from a Surround p.o.v. but the albums, ohhh they were terrific!!

hopefully DV or somebody can redo them on a new redo, though i haven't a clue who has the rights to them in the UK nowadays? steelydave will know fo'sho

@ Clement: I didn't know CIFTM was available in surround. It's my favorite of all the BS&T albums (I like Al a lot). Cool!

If you are unable to obtain the stand alone SACD 5.1 Audio Fidelity version of CHILD IS FATHER TO THE MAN which is long OOP, Analogue Productions includes it in their BS&T box set entitled BLOODLINES which also incudes BS&T's second self titled album in 4.0 and also on STEREO SACD, BS&Ts third and fourth albums. Luckily, I was able to buy the set which lists for $150, sealed, from Amazon for $68 so keep your eyes out for 'deals!

Man! I couldn't agree MORE–CIFTTM is by far my favorite B,S&T album. And the mix is truly phenomenal. @4-earredwonder has a great suggestion if you are also looking for their second, eponymous, album. Have you seen @edisonbaggins Life In Surround video about searching tips?

Also, do you know Kooper's other multichannel mix:
