Rhino Quadio Batch 5 for August 2024!

[kenm]

Let’s poke the bear. These will be the next batch to be transferred in the near future:

Would love BARK, since it's on GRUNT maybe a chance but from what everyone says no hope for Worst or Volunteers. Have them both on reel to reel Quad.

Not familiar with the term "R2R" what is the meaning ?

You just answered your own question

LMAO. Well at least I got Volunteers and Worst of, on R2R, see I'm a quick learner. Quess I'll just have to dig these out.

Gandharva. Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys. Waitress in a Donut Shop. New Orleans Suite. That's my dream bundle.

I’ve never heard of any of these ! Are they band names or album titles?

I thought the same thing. A quick google search tells me they are album titles

Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause (never heard of them)
Arlo Guthrie
Maria Muldaur (never heard of her)
Duke Ellington

I do agree that people need to move on from a Rhino produced Quad released of Croce's music, but his Saja Records releases were done under WEA.

Didn't I read somewhere that the QS-encoded master of Photographs & Memories was used on the Saja CD?

I don't know. The info must be in a QS encoded CD thread.

Maria did “Midnight At The Oasis,” the hit single from “Waitress…”

Actually, "Midnight at the Oasis" is not on "Waitress in a Donut Shop", but it's on her first album which was not released in quad. The "Waitress" album qualifies for the "Quad Album released AFTER the hit album" category that hindered many an artist in the '70s

Too bad. The first album was much, much better.

 

[The56Kid]

Is it too early to begin talking about these?
Because here's the thing. I kinda want those who ordered batch 4 enjoy them, digest them... or at least receive them, shipping notices be damned!

We have 4 more, currently slated for early August. Another diverse assortment of not-previously reissued Quads!

Anyway, starting a thread. Let's go!

Steve, let ‘er rip as far as I’m concerned. On a side note, Bundle#3 arrived in record time while Bundle#4 is indefinitely delayed. Major bummer!

 

[ClarkNovak]

She was asked permission to release the Quads on several occasion which she declined every single time.

Probably a better tactic to persuade A.J. He's a big proponent of his dad's work (and an incredible artist in his own right).

 

[texeast]

I think that James Taylor’s album Sweet Baby James was his best release but I have been told that it would not be available for a Quad release. Such a shame!

Great suggestions. I have been wishing for Last of the Brooklyn Cowboy and Waitress in a Donut Shop for many years. I'm also an aging quadie, started in the 70's. I have those on CD-4, regrettably I haven't had CD-4 in a couple of decades. Those are two of the best mixed quads of all time. I'm hoping for a miracle.

Me, too, and I have them on quad reels as well -- a much friendlier format than CD-R. When Maria played at Indianapolis's Jazz Kitchen some years ago, I brought the quad reel of Waitress for her to sign. She was shocked to see it, having no idea such a thing existed.

Ah, Warner Bros. Records in the seventies ... relying on its cash cows to underwrite so many great, commercially questionable artists!

I disagree. If this had been the case, the label would never had given us its Loss Leaders series of compilations.

These sets did contain great music by some commercially questionable artists

 

[Aging quadie]

The Loss Leaders helped us discover artists that almost never would have garnered FM airplay.

Reel to Reel tape.

My apologies, I had misunderstood what underwriting meant. We're actually agreeing.

Last of the Brooklyn Cowboys is an exceptional sounding album in quad. But just like Maria’s quadradisc, Arlo’s QR does not feature his big hit of the era.

Maybe expectations were high that both Waitress and Cowboys were albums sure to take each of the respective artists to the next level of stardom, rather than career fade-outs.
