My take was he meant the quads haven't yet been released on digital format. Not that they were unreleased back in the day.
But you could be correct, of course.
Rhino Quadio Batch 5 for August 2024!

Got a link? (And do any of the chatterers have any real credentials, or at least a track record on this kind of thing?)
Sorry to rain on your parade , but the Simon and Franklin quads don't exist.
This has been vetted already by Steve some time ago.
There were only six titles confirmed in the vault as unreleased quads. Only SIX IN TOTAL.
J Geils -Bloodshot, Joni Mitchell -MOA , James Taylor -In The Pocket, Rod Stewart-Atlantic Crossing , Foghat-Energized and Dionne Warwick -Track Of The Cat.
Billy Cobham is certainly more jazz-oriented than Bette Midler or Roberta Flack.
Maybe , but I think with the addition of Tommy Bolin on guitar...,
this one of a kind disc is a crossover Jazz/Rock/Fusion album .
Also another consideration for Electra could be Judy Collins -Judith .
Electra EQ -1032
I practically fell asleep just reading this.
Hence why I said more "jazz oriented"
Apart from The Doors ,I could say that for the remainder of the Electra Quad catalog .
If we count Asylum as part of the Elektra catalog, there's the possibility of some Jackson Browne or Eagles.
Well since FR referred to the Elektra release as "our first" I think we can rule out any Asylum titles since we've already gotten four Joni Mitchell Asylum albums.
Maybe. But those also sit outside the “batches” of which this will be #5.
They also already released Best of The Doors, but that was outside of the batches. (But that was included in the "Singles" set, so I guess that wasn't technically a "Quadio" release)

I'm more excited/intrigued by the prospect that RHINO may slip in more unannounced ATMOS BD~As like the recent expanded Doors GH, Alanis, Hootie and FM's RUMOURS!

It wasn't an expanded Doors GH
It was the exact same "Best of the Doors" compilation Elektra released on double LP in 1985.

But yes, I'm much more intrigued by this prospect as well. Frankly, the WEA quad output was rather slim pickings to begin with, IMO, and pretty much all the best stuff has already been released. (I'm guessing Eagles are unlikely due to artist restrictions). There are still some albums I would be happy to buy and listen to, but nothing that I'm on pins-and-needles waiting for.

Two things;
Would love to see either Aerosmith Rocks or Draw The Line released this time.
Also some decent protection for a change, it's been a growing trend order arrives and Blu ray cases cracked and those Quadio cases cracked, hinges broken.

Aerosmith albums, originally on CBS/Sony, are now controlled by UMG.
Rhino has no access to these.
Also pretty sure Draw The Line never had a quad release.
Aerosmith can't be released by Rhino. Aerosmith is owned by UMG, not WMG. But yeah, the quad mix of Rocks being released would be awesome. I don't think UMG has any quad release programs, though, sadly.
Only the little bit they've let trickle out to DV. Which hasn't been their big name artists.
Better chance of seeing new Atmos mixes of Aerosmith titles than the old quad I would think. And not sure the chances of those are very good either. Although with the catalog having recently transferred to UMG, one might think they'd be cooking up some 50th anniversary packages.
Speaking of those, I JUST opened up a package from Amazon and it had the Seal Atmos BD inside. I didn't realize that was a Rhino release!
Seems as if Rhino may be the best thing going in terms of seeing some of these new Atmos mixes that have mostly been confined to streaming being released on physical disc!
Steven Tyler posted on Instagram not long ago that he was overseeing a remix of the debut album. Seems like the perfect opportunity to also have an Atmos mix done.
No doubt. What's the point of remixing an old album in 2024 unless you're going to do Atmos.
Here's hoping for a physical release. Would love to have the Aerosmith catalog in surround!
