With the re-release of Toulouse Street, I'm hoping for a Quadio (or maybe a High Fidelity Pure Audio) Blu-ray audio containing both the 4.0 mix and the 5.1 mix of the Doobie Brothers "The Captain and Me".

It’ll be a triple dip on Toulouse Street (have the Quadio box and the MoFi SACD) but what the heck, why stop now. Don’t have the other three in any format so overall this is a nice selection.
For myself, Toulouse Street was the best sounding of the Doobies from their box set but I’m in for the other three!
 
For me ”Vices” is their strongest album song for song, and the recording is pretty damn good. So since we are getting Toulouse Street (first) I think that all four might come out in order of release sequence as single Quadios.

These single standalone reissues like Doobies are probably good news for the average listener and their home theater rigs even if we have them already. It might mean “Court and Spark” could appear as well once the Joni box sells out.

I’d like the Best of Aretha Franklin if they want to reissue previous quads from Warner. It’s good that there are still plenty of options remaining.
 
If I didn’t have the DB Box set, I’d be psyched for this but since I do I’m feeling kind of “meh”. Hope this doesn’t mean they’re running out of interesting titles to release.
 
i have to say i'm surprised the Doobies reissue is getting all the attention 🤷🏻‍♀️

for me, the big news is we have the best of the Jefferson Starship Quads coming up and even bigger news not one but 2 previously unreleased Rock Quads, wow!! 🤩🥳

that Foghat LP in particular is a great album, i can't wait to hear what they did with it in Surround!! 😋💘

instant purchase as soon as the buy link goes live ✌️😍
 
😳 I’ll lay my cards on the table and confess that I’m a (relatively) poor guy that happens to love surround music, and am forced to enjoy it on my humble system. Champagne taste on a beer budget, you might say. If I could afford to buy every Quadio just to sample it, I surely would (save for The Divine Miss M - great reviews, but I have my limits 🤷‍♂️). For players, let’s just say that $24,000 was the down payment on my house 17 years ago. $1,500 for an eq alone would guarantee me a divorce.

I’m not a class envy type. It’s great hearing from you guys (and gals) that can afford all these discs plus DAC and FLAC players, and can make your own surround mixes and enjoy these recordings on incredible systems. It would be great to have all that, but since I can’t, I’ll just tweak my limited eq settings and enjoy what I can have. Surround music is wonderful no matter how you hear it.

Eagerly awaiting Muscle Of Love on Quadio on 10/26! 😁🙏
Your entire post is worth replying to, but to cut right to the chase, has the Cooper Band album reissue w/ quad been confirmed for 10/26???
 
These titles are definitely more up my alley. Like others these days, I neither have the spare cash or space to buy everything that I might have a passive interest in, but it looks like I'll be grabbing 3 of the 4 as I already have the Doobies box. Unless I hear that the mastering on Toulouse Street has been revisited for this release.

The Foghat, which I've only just sampled on YouTube, seems a little too straightforward rock and roll to me, but if the quad mix and the mastering is good, it could also be a great album to turn up loud and enjoy.
 
I’m in for three of the four, since I already have the Doobies box.
Love Dragonfly and Bloodshot. Not familiar with Energized but I do own and like other Foghat titles.
Thanks FR
