Back cover of booklet in Quadio super jewel case!Oh, that one's no fun...
But wouldn’t the orange velvet cover trim of the “fun” cover be expensive to reproduce? You know it had a touchy-feely fabric trim on original jackets.

The albums the late guitarist John Pilla produced for Arlo Guthrie between 1969 and 1978 are gems. All reflect Warner/Reprise's musical renaissance before the corporate types clamped down on the label's visionary artists.This Arlo Guthrie album is such a very strong production - recording and mix to quad. I need to listen to again because years ago I found it not very memorable musically.
I'd bet Starship or Spinners. Both were huge artists back then.I am wondering which artist will be the first to get a second album in a Quadio series BR release?
Geils, Starship, or something else?
Yep, Gutterslogh Germanythose UK exclusive CD-4 LPs were manufactured at Sonopress, maybe the tapes are in Germany?![]()
No tapes on all. I don't think we have rights to Elsewhere.
True, nothing leaves any of the WMG vaults anywhere in the world without leaving a paper trail and a job ticket.But wait a minute Steve ?
RE TAPES Is it true that when it comes to tapes ,
WEA doesn't throw anything away .
Foraging mentioned in passing that Spinners was not the hottest seller that month, the next, or at all… - regardless of what happened 50 chart years ago.I'd bet Starship or Spinners. Both were huge artists back then.

There is no evidence that these titles were ever there.
There's a 2 channel on Absolute, but no 4.
Since you are in the UK I think you should make some calls, get into the car and drive around and on foot and find the "Absolute Elsewhere" quad masters. Start with the producer and then band members if any are still around. Of course I’m joking. I’m not really sure if this album even has a market at this point.those UK exclusive CD-4 LPs were manufactured at Sonopress, maybe the tapes are in Germany?![]()

They actually could have cut stereo discs from a four channel master folded to stereo at the mastering console.Also, this might sound weird (and desperate) but I would grab that 2 ch Absolute Elsewhere., to take a peek.
Why ?
Because I never ever saw a 2 channel one , only 3 or 4.....all quadradisc.
Well it couldn't hurt anyway.
That's really sad. It was such an iconic album on original release. Simply brilliant production from Thom Bell...some (myself included) consider it to be his finest work. MFSB is also in top-notch form. Impeccable musicianship and arrangements. Plus, with four massive hit singles (three of which reached Number One on both the Billboard Pop and R&B charts) from start to finish, this album is quintessential Philly Soul. Have musical tastes changed so dramatically over the years that this record has now become irrelevant? Or, perhaps the sound of the sterling production lost something when it was originally mixed for quad? Whatever the case, I know if I were entertaining guests at the house, I'd much rather pop in this Spinners album than some of the Quadios we've so far gotten. I do not in any way mean to suggest that the other albums are not good, rather, the Spinners Atlantic debut is at least the equal, and in some cases even better, than the others.Foraging mentioned in passing that Spinners was not the hottest seller that month, the next, or at all… - regardless of what happened 50 chart years ago.
So……….?
Perhaps that was due to the complaints about the channel balance. Yes, they made it right, but that sort if negative publicity can certainly affect sales.Foraging mentioned in passing that Spinners was not the hottest seller that month, the next, or at all… - regardless of what happened 50 chart years ago.

I would like to think that's a reason why sales might not have been stellar, but I highly doubt it. Unless you're "in the know," like people on this board, you'd have no idea there was a problem. It actually took a little bit before the problem was even reported. So I really don't believe that's it. I just guess it's that musical tastes change.Perhaps that was due to the complaints about the channel balance. Yes, they made it right, but that sort if negative publicity can certainly affect sales.
Hard to know why people don’t buy, so who knows?
is Billy Cobham - Spectrum a possibility to be released on Quad by Rhino? This is one of my favorite albums.
You bet it is!
You just made my month!
As a Tommy Bolin fan I'd love to get that James Gang quadio!
