I think there are 3 James Taylor quads , with the addition of In The Pocket and I'm hoping they make a little box set , something similar to Joni Mitchell.

None of Queen's catalogue has been under the Warner umbrella for years. I also believe it has been confirmed that Queen was never mixed in quad.

For the jazz title I would dearly love Plastic Dreams by Modern Jazz Quartet.

Maybe a long shot but are any of the King Biscuit Flower Hour recordings available or of sufficient quality for release?

Wouldn't it be great if @ForagingRhino would post a list of all the Quads they have available to reissue here and we could all vote for the ones we would like to see released the most! Something like pick your top 10 or 20 and see which ones on the list get the most votes! 
I would rather be surprised, too much fun speculatingWouldn't it be great if @ForagingRhino would post a list of all the Quads they have available to reissue here and we could all vote for the ones we would like to see released the most!

This is neither a democracy, nor a popularity contest.
@ForagingRhino has done a magnificent job as curator of this project.
Let the monkeys in the peanut gallery chatter while he continues to do his valuable work.

I agree that he has done a spectacular job, I have purchased every one of them they have released so far!This is neither a democracy, nor a popularity contest.

I'm just not an expert, like several of the members on this forum, so I am not up on everything that was produced/released on Quad. I have a very limited knowledge of the recordings and what label/company/artist now owns them. It would be much easier to express an opinion of what I would like to see released if I knew what was available. I would have to disagree that it is somewhat of a popularity contest, since more popular titles may result in greater sales and more profit for Rhino. I do understand there are other considerations as well that impact the decision on what titles to release.
That said I appreciate the great work Rhino is doing, what they have released sounds fantastic!
Brilliant! You said out loud what I've been thinking. While I'm at it, let me congratulate the QQ members for their impressive vast knowledge--which gives them an advantage to this speculation thread. I'm always amazed and grateful for the information they provide.Wouldn't it be great if @ForagingRhino would post a list of all the Quads they have available to reissue here and we could all vote for the ones we would like to see released the most!

Also, found this link that might be helpful in understanding what might be available.https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/WB.htm

May be it is us speculating that allow them to be found!...... does a falling tree make a sound if no one is there to hear it?

That's your best set yet!
Well, it is different; unlikely for a GCS follow-up probably, but hey, WTH!

Agreed but sadly quite a few of the mast tapes were destroyed in a fire in the 80's!

Nice quad wishful thinking , but apart from Bonnie Raitt which has been vetted and there is no quad ....
All of the recordings you have listed are not with Rhino/WEA. You might try UMG , though, .....if and when they should start their very own quad reissue program.

Don't beat me up, but it seems that many of you buy these discs without knowing the albums at all. Why is that?
I've generally stopped buying albums that I'm unfamiliar with. Too often I find that that unfamiliar albums are a one and done listen. Now that the volume of material being released in surround has increased, I find that I can be more selective.

Glad to hear! Some on this forum just buy, buy buy and then complain about the album & how they don't like it.
Crazy!
