RHINO QUADIO batch #6 - Speculation Extravaganza!

[Michael Marshall]

Just so ya know, there is another Quadio release scheduled for 10/25 as part of an expanded edition for general release.
More details to follow, I'm sure!

This is VERY intriguing to say the least! The last time something like this happened was with the Joni Mitchell box set with the old/new quad mixes. I was just scrolling through Ultimate Classic Rock and didn't see anything on their upcoming October releases post for anything that would fit ForagingRhino's post. So many QUADIO releases to look forward to!

Actually this is more like the Doors Singles collection when some smart guy thought to add the quad Best Of comp to the mix.

I forgot about that although I was still able to get it myself through Amazon last year. Wonderful release so here's looking forward to this "archive" release and upcoming QUADIO drop. Like many other of the QuadraphonicQuad forum members, I have really enjoyed Rhino's QUADIO series and it really is how an ongoing reissue series can and should be done. I also enjoy being "turned on" to music that I have previously passed up on. The quad mixes/releases that have come out this past year+ have been uniformly excellent. Thank you!

October is the 50th anniversary of Dragonfly. Wishful thinking, I guess.

There are not that many quad mixed "Best of" albums in the (formerly known as) WEA family of artists.

Thinking it is not Doors, unlikely to be Judy Collins, and I'm guessing not Bread either. So that does indeed narrow it down quite a bit doesn't it!

And Jackson Browne's "Late for the Sky" is also celebrating its 50th anniversary in September and he was recently featured in a New York Times article talking about the anniversary. I don't subscribe to the digital NYT so I did not have access to the whole article, so I can't comment further on its content. But wouldn't be fantastic if "Late For The Sky" came out as a deluxe box set similar to the recent Deep Purple "Machine Head" that also contained a Blu-ray of the album along with its Quad mix (remember, we only found out after its release that the band said "no" to a "stand alone" QUADIO release as they wanted the Quad mix, etc. to be part of the Deluxe 50th Anniversary release). This is all probably wishful thinking, but one can hope, right?! Afterall, Joni "green lighted" her recent box set with Quad mixes so there is artist president here...
