QuadraphonicQuad - WEA GROUP Records Checklist
IMO, there are still a LOT of quality recordings in their vaults worth releasing.
What a fascinating subject, and you guys really know a lot.
I see the list that 4 ears posted and many fascinating titles.
As a collector of music, I have not yet turned down a Rhino Quadio, and have yet to have the opinion that any of the releases were
.
On that same note, collection, I would like to collect all that become available.
As you all have said, many variables come into play, before a release can be released.
I have some questions:
Dutton Vocalion seems to have one direction, different titles and a excellent array of Country Music.
Rhino seems to be getting all in, with new life for Quad (Quadio).
Japan seems to be masters of the Quad Sony Catalog?
Super Deluxe Edition, seems to have found a niche of titles being remixed, 5.1/Atmos.
As a consumer of music, using these 4 company's as a model, are they competing with each other?
A release goes to the highest bidder?
Are they just trying to get anything, so there company can survive the small niche surround market?
Why would Frank Sinatra titles be untouchable?
Does the big fire that wiped out so many tapes, make all of this a problem?
