Hey, a nod is as good as wink to a blind horse.
Roll them there clues!

...how obscure is the link between Bruce Dickinson and Bill Sheehan? Their names both begin with "B" and end with "N"?

So does Bill HartmanN.

 

[Bill Hartmann]

So far, no correct answers for artist or album. I have full authority to reveal the answer. If someone correctly guesses the artist, I will acknowledge it. I am thoroughly enjoying the grammar lessons, no hidden meanings in my phrasing. Just bad grammar. To keep everyone on track, I am not a musician, I'm a drummer but not one that anyone has ever heard of. It's Bruce Dickinson, the musician.
I hope we are all just having fun. There are far less Quadio clues when they are being released and I'm amazed at how you guys always figure them out.

Hint #6:
There is a direct link to Pink Floyd.

 

[Mr. Afternoon]

Iron Maiden S/T? But that would be too late for quad....

Hint #6:
There is a direct link to Pink Floyd.

A Gilmour solo album would be awesome. Self titled makes the time frame. Don't know about the Dickenson & Sheehan connection, or the "mission"

Quadio clues when they are being released and I'm amazed at how you guys always figure them out.

With Quadio clues, we eventually get a photo of the jewel case spine. Seeing the color of the font and the background color enables many to make great educated guesses. Since you have full authority to reveal, how about revealing the whole spine for the next hint?

Hmm... direct link to Pink Floyd. Most of the Floyd albums had artwork designed by Hipgnosis who made album art for many bands in the 70s. Perhaps it's one of the albums on this list? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipgnosis#Work

There are a very limited number of possibilities when it comes to vintage quad mixes, especially classic rock bands.
In contrast, there are thousands of possibilities if you consider all the pop/rock albums pre-1977. Many more thousands if you include post-1977.
So not really surprising that QQers figure out the quadios.

I’m enjoying the clues and am really excited with the Floyd clue.

Well, that really narrows it down.

“The Wall” finally?

 

[Rango]

I was thinking Argent - In Deep, but that had a quad release.

But does that count as a "direct" link? I think that's like an intermediary?

I was thinking Ambrosia because of the Alan Parsons connection but Ambrosia 1st two albums coming out with a 5.1 mix has already been announced on the forum.

 

[The Pink Floyd]

Roger Waters
The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking.

I don’t think anyone has ever suggested this might have had a quad release which rules it out for me, same with The wall

 

[mandrix]

@Bill Hartmann I think doesn't say in which country he lives/works. That might narrow it down a few thousand. lol.

 

[madscot]

After looking at hipgnosis work i’ve came up with the Edgar Broughton band, purely because it starts with B and ends in N, they were also on the harvest label which i’m sure PF were on in the early days

Hint #6:

could be an artist like Roy Harper?

He was on harvest records, I think it could be the link
