Jackson and Randy are a must buy for me.
Maybe sales picked up when it went to other online retail sites. Maybe it actually became a top seller later? A "sleeper" is what that is called.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.
For me, it was one of the top Quadios released. That one and Roberts Flack. Sure, I really liked the others, but America, Alice Cooper, Jefferson Starship and even Paranoid got just one play from me and have hit the shelf. I've pulled the others out several times already. The quality of the sound and quad effects just blow me away.
Yes, those would be great, Sail Away from Randy Newman being the first repeated artist, and Jackson approves his quad mixed album. A couple of rock titles added to that and I'm so fucking there.Jackson and Randy are a must buy for me.
I'd bet Starship or Spinners. Both were huge artists back then.
Lamenting a 50 year old decision not to release this one in quad. How can you do the one before and the one after and miss this gem? This may be my favorite of their releases because after they get a little too mellow for my taste-- and this is a better recording than the self-titled album (less tubby bass).
However, all the earllier Thom.Bell meticulously-produced recordings are far superior to the later post-TB big hits like "Working" and "Cupid" which sound shockingly tinny in comparison--likely a caveat of a late '70s "radio-friendly" mix.

There is not.Completely agree - maybe there's an unreleased quad mix of Mighty Love hiding in the Warner vaults somewhere?
Maybe they will press this up as a picture disc on vinyl?Lamenting a 50 year old decision not to release this one in quad. How can you do the one before and the one after and miss this gem?

Nov. is a Quadio scheduled month. And if the past is anything to go by it will be Nov.Has a date already been set for batch #6?
Volunteers is in RCA so not happening.This might make a great bundle:
Arlo Guthrie - Last Of The Brooklyn Cowboys
Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers
Herbie Mann - Hold On, I'm Coming
Frank Sinatra - Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back
I'm not familiar with the Arlo Guthrie
Interesting. Here's what I found:Volunteers is in RCA so not happening.
Sinatra's stuff is controlled by his estate. So also not happening.
I'm not familiar with the Arlo Guthrie
I'll always remember Arlo Guthrie for "Alice's Restaurant" where you can get "anything you want".![]()
Ok so no Spinners 'Mighty Love' but in the crazy idea department and for the love of Todd (Rundgren) get him to do a surround mix of 'Acapella' where he covered that trackThere is not.
I'm not sure Rhino ever owned Todd's catalogue outright. They reissued a bunch of the Bearsville albums on CD back in the pre-Warner acquisition days, but any subsequent CD issues have come from other reissue labels like Edsel in the U.K. I do see the latest streaming/download reissue of Something / Anything? is credited to Rhino, so I may be wrong!Doesn't Rhino (still) have the rights to a lot of those Rundgren albums?

Rusty, great selection but VOLUNTEERS is still under the SONY/RCA umbrella and Frank Sinatra is now controlled by the Sinatra Estate and re~releases on RBCD have been done by Concord Music a UMG subsidiary!This might make a great bundle:
Arlo Guthrie - Last Of The Brooklyn Cowboys
Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers
Herbie Mann - Hold On, I'm Coming
Frank Sinatra - Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back
Thank you Sir!Rusty, great selection but VOLUNTEERS is still under the SONY/RCA umbrella and Frank Sinatra is now controlled by the Sinatra Estate and re~releases on RBCD have been done by Concord Music a UMG subsidiary!
