I’m guessing it’s a @Stephen W Tayler remix on Esoteric Recirdings?

 

[QuadKev]

How about a copy for trying? And I tried!

 

[Quadwreck]

Those tapes aren't missing. The tapes for Black Cow and the title track (both on side 1) are what's missing.

Thank you for the clarification. It was one or the other.

I’ve heard of the name but never heard the music. Interesting read off Wikipedia on the origins (which I got wrong). Congratulations to the winner!

How about something by Nektar (such as “A Tab in the Ocean”). Billy Sheehan played with the band for a short time. Iron Maiden covered the song “King of Twilight” from the album. Progressive rock like Floyd. “Acid Trip” theme. Quad era with speculation about quad mixes. The band recently had one of their ‘classic’ albums remixed.

Congrats It sounds like you got it!

Edit: @skherbeck I can’t find a record of it being released in quad on discogs?

It wasn't, hence fitting being from the quad era but never having a quad mix released.

skherbeck thought it did? He was second-guessing himself, but yeah...turns out it didn't have a quad release.

Sheehan covered Aces High on the Iron Maiden tribute album Numbers of the Beast. https://www.discogs.com/release/227...m-The-Beast-An-All-Star-Salute-To-Iron-Maiden

The B-side of Iron Maiden's Aces High is Nektar's King of Twilight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aces_High_(song)

I almost had it. I didn't click through on Nektar on the Aces High page, but I think skherbeck already had it by then anyway.

Not sure if Sheehan covered King of Twilight.

No idea what the direct link to Pink Floyd is; I didn't find any link at all.

Also stumped about the liar clue and about the 'journey to mission' clue. Hopefully all will be revealed.

No, he didn't and wasn't. He simply said there was "speculation" about a mix existing, not having been released.

EDIT: I missed this follow-up post:

Reading further, it seems like Tab was already released in quad…

Not trying to start an argument, just trying to congratulate skherbeck.

This is the skherbeck quote I was referring to...

My response:

I hope you guessed right on the remix. RTF 50th wasn't too adventurous of a remix

Hopefully that information may be forthcoming; there's still a part of me that thinks we may never again hear from Bill Hartmann

...although, he did make a financial contribution to the forum so...who knows.

"Tab in the Water" and the Sheehan/Dickinson link is pretty spot on however; so...seems legit...?...just didn't find a direct Pink Floyd link, and no idea about the other clues. Starts with a journey, but the mission?

Interesting choice. Sadly, not my cup of tea, but happy for those looking forward to it.
