Your turn!

Loving these lists, @sjcorne. I know this has been discussed in the past, but I forget the details: hasn't it been established that War's TWIAG had a Japanese CD-4 release? Or was that a test pressing only?

Test pressing- and it just says "Cisco Kid", so it may not even be complete.

 

[winopener]

Ohio Players Fire and Honey also as Japan CD4

i'm sure you know about Darrell Johnson already (who created that Discogs entry for the War CD-4) but its maybe worth repeating, he was mastering engineer on many CD-4 pressings and is a QQ member.. so I tend to think anything with his name attached to it is the real deal, alongside other CD-4 test pressings he has listed on Discogs including Tull's Minstrel In The Gallery (the Quad of which was subsequently released/more widely available on DVD, of course) and a Quad of the Styx album The Grand Illusion (oh how i'd love for that to be released someday!)

Good catch, will pull from the list.

Yep, aware of all of that. He also stated he has a CD-4 test pressing of DSOTM in it's in entirety (though you can hear "Money"
in CD-4 on the Quadrafile LP).

The moment where the student becomes the master...LOL. Of course we need you!

haha!
i don't know nothing! i know f**k all!

pretty much anything and everything i have ever said on these boards is the work of others.. i'm not even a minnow standing on the tail of a blue whale.. i am mostly devoid of original thought.

currently somewhat distracted from Quad musing as am watching a documentary on the female super-orgasm.. so, no original thought.. but perhaps a bit of original sin. ahem, back to the scheduled Q8 programme-ing.

...but

Carpenters : A Song For You

That is most certainly very interesting! I'll pull A Song For You and add the other two to the list.
