RHINO QUADIO batch #6 - Speculation Extravaganza!

[peloton]

On that note, if I may ask you, @ForagingRhino, are quad tapes being digitized on strictly a "this album is planned for release" basis or are tapes that are not currently planned for release also being digitized?

I am unaware of the time and effort that goes into that side of preservation so I am curious to learn more. (And of course, music preservation is incredibly important to music lovers as a whole, but audiophiles especially.)

Great question, DE. I and others also I imagine would be interested in knowing what's being done, if Steve doesn't mind answering such a question.

Okay, I see that FR answered this upthread...that's what you get when you don't read the entire thread 1st, John/peloton! I searched the forum and don't see how I can delete my post above. If someone could let me know - feel free to message me via the forum if you prefer...thanks.

Vanguard also had some great classical music quad releases some of which made it out as DVDAs
It would be great to have some new bluray reissues of those as well as the rock stuff.

How cool to have some insiders like FR and SWT
Sharing information with us!

As I recall, Seymour Solomon retained Vanguard's classical titles when the label was sold to Welk. Several resurfaced on Omega CDs. I don't know the current ownership of Vanguard's classical masters.

Concord has the quad tapes of Creedence Gold. Now that truly deserves a release, but Mr. Fogarty can be, uh, a little difficult, y'know.

I gotta say, I have a Q8 transfer of Creedence Gold, Beside the barely average sound quality afforded by the format, the mix itself is one of the worst I've ever heard. The poster boy for double stereo.

Now that the Eagles are performing LIVE shows at Las Vegas' SPHERE with more shows added in November, they'll have a change of heart as pertains to their surround catalogue since the SPHERE is currently probably the BEST surround venue in creation

Is lip-syncing included?

We lost Sergio's masters to Concord so not him.
Ask Craft to dust off all those Vanguard quad masters too! Country Joe in Surround?! Be still my heart!

Vanguard eh? Joan Baez had several albums in quad with them!

 

[Aging quadie]

I'd love to know if Concord has the unreleased quad mix of The Country Gentlemen's first Vanguard album. Hopefully it sounds better than the stereo version, which suffered from aggressive overdubs.

I held off getting batch #5 due to the shipping situation. I assumed ordering right away overwhelmed the shippers. Well, I ordered #5 Wednesday plus Carly for the free shipping. Got an email right away my order was received but no other info since. No shipping number and nothing showing up in usps app. Just sayin’

I always wait to see if the payment card gets dinged, and if payment goes through I consider it a completed transaction on that end, shipping notice w/ tracking is sometimes or might be 10 to 12 days later, and delivery has always happened pretty soon after that.

It always worked out. It'll be fine.

Another day. No word on bundle #5. Maybe FR can assist. Was a big help on #4. Order #R000119268US.

I just told you that shipping notice w/ tracking is sometimes or might be 10 to 12 days later, and delivery has always happened pretty soon after that. Weds was just 7 days ago I believe.

I’m just asking for some info that I get from almost every other seller i deal with in a timely manner. Appreciate the response.

I think you're well within your rights to expect tracking info to be emailed at the same time the order is shipped, which is a minimum standard that pretty much every corporate shipping department adheres to - don't let one self-appointed Reputation Cop (who doesn't represent the company in question, or the feelings of most users here) tell you otherwise.

Yeah that would seem right. Let’s see what happens in 2 - 4 days from now, and if you get a notification.

 

[Bruce00]

In the day, with internet commerce, sending a notice of order received in minutes and sometimes within hours, a shipment notice with tracking is the norm, in the motorcycle industry.
I guess music isn't as competitive

I almost had the exact same order plus I added Chicago. I just received my shipping notice this morning and ordered around the same time as you.

Without ruffling any feathers here, could we kindly get back to the original subject of the thread.

I think the real question is - and with all due respect to the graphic artists that do it for a living - will the final artwork be as good as @J. PUPSTER 's speculative entries?

good idea!

so to recap, we can expect;

- a new batch of 4 x Quadio standalone Blu-ray's which will include some Rock title(s) and previously unreleased mixes

- and there will also be an expanded reissue of a Classic Rock album that also happens to have a Quad mix.

..does that sound right?

What's the chances this classic rock expanded reissue is Yes' Close to Edge? It's next with the Rhino Yes expanded reissues. Plus, there's been some mentioning on the forum about it being slated for a quad release back in the day. Be pretty cool to get an Atmos mix of this and the quad mix on a Blu Ray. It's prog but I think it falls under the umbrella as a classic rock album.
