rare earth - get ready looking for my favorite song in quadraphonic version

[bevergerner]

Hello,
get ready by rare earth accompanies me throughout my life.
At that time in a youth disco the song was played regularly. It was wonderful to dance (freak out). Later it was the last song there - to clean up and for the last coke.
Now I have been listening to quadraphonic for a good 10 years and I would like to own this record or the 8-track cassette (edit: in quad).
My question: Is there someone who owns it and does not listen anymore?
Looking forward to information and offers

Good song and band, signed to the Motown label, met them in 1970 at Hitsville location. I'm partial to "I'm Losing You"" and all Detroit home town groups

It was only released as a CD-4 LP in Japan (no Q8 version), and it's probably one of the rarest quad LPs out there. The last copy I saw sold several years ago for around $600.

oh i've been taking it so much the last however many years i can't take it from the team anymore or i'll lose the ability to walk! from DTS CDs to DVD-A's, SACDs, BD's, SQ & QS LPs, CD-4's, Q8s, even some upmixes and pseudo surround CD curios.. i've hung up my hat now, i'll leave it to others to take it for the team and share the Quad love!

But was that one for a low price in good nick? (* not surprised to see a familiar name as Contributor either.)
I've heard this one, but need to check it out again, don't recall how it sounded?

It's a good mix - on the title track, the backing vocals and organ solo are isolated in the rears.

Jonathan, please don't tell me you're remembering all this detail from memory?

Yep, but I'd never post any mix-related info here without double-checking my files first. Here's the title track:

live a little! go out on a limb! to err is human! very nice looking set of waveforms btw, is that your CD-4 transfer?

 

[bevergerner]

Is here nobody who wants to sell his 8-track or record.....????

 

[Circular Vibes]

Bevergerner, I have seen no evidence yet of a Quad8 release of Rare Earth. Whenever I have seen the LP, it either disappears by the time I check my bank account or has already sold. Check your P.M.s

Hello,
Most of the responses here will be about the quad aspects of this album by Rare Earth. I don't see where you specified format - stereo or quad - as yet. The stereo version would be available by many retailers worldwide. Can you tell us which version (Stereo LP, stereo cassette, stereo 8track ro quad LP) you are after?
Tim

Hi Tim,
The stereo version I already have as LP, as well as 8-track. Further I have a digital quadraphonic version
It would certainly be interesting to have the stereo version as a compact cassette or tape(reel) ...
But I'm still looking for the Quadro version.
Since I do not give the hope to get these ...

Hi Tim,
I was at soundcloud - great, thanks for sharing your sund
