Gorgeous, mon kapitan, just gaw-juss! :upthumb (would love to see pics please.. one day.. tomorrow? )

One wonders, having given his blessing to your Quad LP (the SQ of which decodes v.nicely fwiw) why DA F@@KIN 'ELL he ain't given his blessing for this wunderbah ol' Quad to be reissued from the spanky 4-ch master tapes on DVD/SACD/BD..!?!

Absolutely STUNNING.

Thanks so much

Does your EWG w/RD SQ LP have the blue Quad sticker on the front?

The only pics on Discogs are from my totally beaten to death 1st SQ copy (my 2nd SQ copy is not much better nick or I would have UL'd pics there already.. still on the lookout for a copy with the blue Quadraphonic sticker intact... HTF!)

Curiously enough, I checked them today after taking the photo and I have one Stereo LP with the hype sticker, and an SQ copy with a STEREO Hype sticker, so my guess is that , since Quad was on its way out by that point, they didn't bother printing QUAD hype stickers!!!

AAMOF, I just pulled them out again and found out that the SQ LP does NOT have the "QUADRAPHONIC bla, bla, blah" logo on the front cover, and the sticker has the stereo cat. no. ; PZ33798....

I can rip the nice copy of the SQ for you!!! (Remember my conversion too!!)

Carpenters Singles (from CD-4)

I don't really have time for this but I just had to quickly try it and see if it was worth the effort.. wow... how many ways can I say this totally kicks the a$$ of the SQ LP..!?

its mind blowing how wonderful CD-4 can be - but I'm sticking to my assertion that unless its a Japanese CD-4 pressing its anybody's guess as to what results you're going to get and so many times this year I've been pretty underwhelmed by the CD-4 experience (as I think many of you know by me banging on about it all the time! sorry.. if I had somebody else to bend the ear of and spare you all I would! ).. but really, no two ways about it, this is superb.

I SO hope someday some of the A&M Quad master tapes turn up (seems unlikely I accept that.. but stranger things have happened) because things like this disc, the 6 Wives from CD-4 and that Carpenters (Now & Then?) from Quad Reel thats out there clearly give some major clue as to just how sensational some of their Quads really were/are!

maybe 2017 will be the year of some Quad hidden/lost treasure discoveries... :xp:

oh there is a Quad blue sticker for the EWG w/RD SQ LP! there's one for sale in Mexico on eBay right now with the sticker.. but its in shit condition and I ain't getting a 3rd copy of the SQ unless its VG++ (preferably sealed and definitely with the Quad sticker! )

ahh.. how could I forget the conversion so good I told Dave it was from Q8.. haha!
gawd I'm a fuckin nutbin, I know.. but my hearts in the right place

Wow, found it!!! Was a little apprehensive at first but YES, they obviously screwed mine up!!! (maybe mine is even more of a collectible!)...

Weird...ahh the times of the Quaaludes!!!

EDIT....curiouser and curiouser...the hype sticker on the Mexican one is ON the LP, mine is on the shrinkwrap!

oh yes! yours is the ultra rare Quaalude edition!

they probably did what I used to do (and got told off for back in my laserdisc days!) carefully peeled off the sticker from the shrink and slapped it directly on the sleeve! whoopsy daisy

Hmmmm...peeling those stickers without leaving any "peeling" marks is VEEERY DIFFICULT!!!...I'm not saying that it's impossible, but quite a feat....the most curious part is that my OTHER SQ copy that I bought first had neither a sticker on the cover nor the QUADRAPHONIC logo anywhere...the only place where you could find out it was a Quad pressing was in the spine and on the back....

This reminds me of a Santana III stereo copy that I bought that was SEALED with the original hype stickers (and it was about $30 too....wow!). One of the stickers was ON TOP of another one!!!
And , on top of that, the stickers are on the BACK of the LP...they probably were either too stoned to figure out which way was front or were not very bright ..OR BOTH!!!!


Here's the Back/Front

and here they are from inside the shrinkwrap...the one that's covered is for "No one to depend on" only, IIRC....
