RHINO QUADIO batch #6 - Speculation Extravaganza!

[steelydave]

I was always surprised that there were no Rundgren or Utopia quad mixes released or unreleased, given not only Rundgren's known interest in surround, but also because of the fact that there was a news item in Billboard circa sometime in 1973 (which I can't find at the moment) that said he was in the studio doing a quad mix on some kind of sound effects or intro tapes for the tour he was about to launch. You'd think if he went as far as carrying a quad PA on tour and mixed tapes for playback at shows that he'd also have mixed some of his studio work in quad, but I guess stranger things have happened...

This has probably already been brought up, @ForagingRhino, but does Warner still own the SR for Bob Dylan's Planet Waves? Or did Columbia buy it when they rereleased it in the '80s? I know Dylan sold his publishing to UMPG, but for those unaware, that only pertains to songs and not recordings.

A quick (and generally accurate, but not 100% I'll concede) way to check current rightsholders is to look the official upload of an album up on YouTube and see what it says in the description section below the song title. In this case, for the first track off Planet Waves:

Interesting. Here's what I found:

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE -
Bark. Grunt PQFT-1001 (Q8),
Volunteers. Grunt APD1-0320 (CD4),
Worst. Grunt EPQ1-1653-QF (DQR),

JEFFERSON STARSHIP -
Dragon Fly. Grunt BFD1-0717 (CD4),
Red Octopus. Grunt BFD1-0999 (CD4),
Spitfire. Grunt BFD1-1557 (CD4),

If my memory is correct, Frank Sinatra created the Reprise label. Sinatra is not listed in Rhino's stable of artists. Still a Quadio of Sinatra would delight his fans.

I'll always remember Arlo Guthrie for "Alice's Restaurant" where you can get "anything you want".

Boy, would love to get Jeff Plane - VOLUNTEERS and WORST, what label was Blows Against The Empire on, that has so many layers and effects would make an awesome surround release, also great songs, harmonies.

 

[sunra]

I think Blows Against The Empire is RCA/Sony controlled, so I assume not available for a Quadio release.

If you ever heard “The Motorcycle Song,” you will never forget it.

Arlo Guthrie certainly would like to. He later ridiculed that embarrassing early composition in concert.

“It wasn’t the best song I wrote, but I didn’t have time to change it.”

FR has confirmed that there is no quad master for the Bonnie Raitt. I think for some of the others too.

Well there's always that chance that he has one or two songs mixed . If that is the case .
I wonder how Rhino would (if they did consider) release such a thing .
Maybe a compilation , but better still, if an Atmos mix occurs , could be a bonus add on .

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Maybe a new mix someday for this one (but would it be Quad or Atmos) - aka "the swingin' 'mator girl"?

Anyone remember if it was mentioned or any other Little Feat album?

Great list of rumoured quads ,and sorry as I am , but I,
Already had these vetted by Steve @ ForagingRhino.
And Rod Stewart and J Geils Bloodshot are the only quad ones in the vault.
Not certain of the Chicago Live , but I think it was also a no go when the Box Set was released if IRC.

I'm hoping the next bunch contain a full rock slate .

James Gang Miami
Foghat Energized
J Geils Bloodshot
Z Z TOP Tres Hombres (if finally found)
