RHINO QUADIO batch #6 - Speculation Extravaganza!

[quicksrt]

I guess Rod Stewart was still a rocker at the time of Atlantic Crossing

While James Taylor never ever was!

 

[Blackwood]

I'm OK giving Rhino ( Foraging - Steve) a wide spectrum

And I’m OK if Spectrum is considered rock... even if “jazz-rock”.

LONG JOHN SILVER was part of the RHINO acquisition of the GRUNT label

Thanks for article, was wondering why no Blows Against The Empire, looked it up, was a RCA release not GRUNT, DAM.

Blows is a great album and would make a great surround release.

Hey, @ForagingRhino, some suggestions from the Department of Further Clues:

• What labels originally issued these quads?
• Have any been reissued?
• The catalog numbers added equal: "xxxxx"
• The total band members from the 4 releases equal: "xx"
• An unusual bit of trivia regarding one of the artists or releases?
• The letters of the band names (or album titles) can be used to make an anagram which says: "_________......."

yes, it BLOWS alright, but just not in the cards for Rhino AFAIK. I am definitely in that camp of wanting that one in surround though, as you can see what my Air Force barracks' wall looked like in black-light paint circa mid 1970's at SAC Headquarters Omaha. The barracks commander was not amused ... and we were doing Top Secret work for the CIA

I'm OK giving Rhino ( Foraging - Steve) a wide spectrum for the description of genre as "Rockers"; it's all good stuff IMO

These are all like little long lost diamonds that have washed up on a beach!

Yes, they are like the lost sea scrolls of popular music 1971 - 1976.
I've thought of these quad mixed masters as Sleeping Beauties waiting to be awoken from deep sleep.

A time killing exercise - anyone compared the actual colors of the Quadio packaging to the associated CD-4/QuadraDisc jacket colors?

We have asked Mr. Browne's people, they said no.

Oh, that's so depressing.
Let's see...lost ZZ TOP , and the five WEA European quads.

Kinda doesn't bode well for many quadio rock-like releases left, me thinks.


Hopefully time can turn some of these losses around.

I’m under the impression that one or two of these never got a CD-4 release.

But yeah we’ve come up with Rod Stewart, Jefferson Starship, James Taylor, War, and Foghat when looking at colors of the covers.. With J Geils Band the only one we agree on. Pretty “sure thing” is “Bloodshot” right!

 

[kfbkfb]

Just to explain my time wasting color checking
I was thinking of comparing the already released Quadios with their CD-4 versions.

(and now back to the regularly scheduled thread)

Anyone know the release date for these? I want to spend more money

If they are already manufactured, perhaps they bring the release date forward a bit.

They did in fact bump them up to Oct. rather than the third month mark of Nov.
So the middle of next month (expected) is the shortest time we've yet seen between bundles.

I get kind of antsy and want them soon. But when that idea enters my mind I take out a couple of surround discs that I've not played in a while or much at all and spin those. It helps hold me over.

AND that means we can get another bundle before Christmas!

Hope you at least threw in a "pretty please" in there. That usually does the trick.

Now, now, do all the presents have to be unwrapped before Christmas morning? Santa has your list, he's given you a wink, and you know you've been good (or good enough anyway). I love the speculation but I also look forward to the surprise reveals on order day!

Once upon a time, like a year ago it seemed essential that I knew more of what was coming or very likely coming. Now that I have 20+ Warner quad masters to shuffle though and enjoy it is not as important that I know in advance every single disc to arrive. I think getting Court and Spark, Paranoid, Machine Head, and Billion Dollar Babies from Warner's was a great thing to help me relax knowing that things are lining up just fine.

In fact, what I actually do like to know is what is not available for reissue, so my brain does not do any wasted processing on deadwood that ain't happening.

Thanks, hopefully the fact that Rhino asked at least makes them realize people are interested in more Jackson Browne in high res surround.

 

[quicksrt]

But on the other hand, when we are talking about the possibility of previously unreleased quad masters, it is a whole other level of interest and excitement.

 

[ForagingRhino]

Just so ya know, there is another Quadio release scheduled for 10/25 as part of an expanded edition for general release.
More details to follow, I'm sure!
