Hopefully if they choose to reissue the other titles, they'll consider a mastering style more in line with the rest of the series.
RHINO QUADIO batch #6 - Speculation Extravaganza!

Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
This appears to often be the case with every batch of quadio releases. There are the albums of interest and the others to be passed on by some of us surround fans. Interestingly, it’s often not all the same releases folks choose out of the four.

Question, So batch 6 is set for October 18. Is batch 7 coming October 25?
They have previously been “quarterly” releases meaning that we should expect the next round to be Jan. 2025. If that was the question.
Batch 6 = Oct 18th
Extra special disc = Oct 25th
Thank you, This is what I was referring to.
Is the release for the 25th just 1 disc/release?

I will be waiting until the 25th to see if I can make a bundle from both releases. Already have the Doobies box.

Ditto, Jeffie! Toulouse Street from the Doobies Quadio boxset sounds fantastic on my system so WHY duplicate?
I for one am a little glad that Toulouse Street is in the next batch. Like most of us here, I already have the Doobies Quadio box, but I can still get the bundle deal by adding Gil Evans Svengali which is the only one from the previous batches I have yet to pick up. Sure, it’s not my kind of music but since I’m getting it bundled with the other 3 it’s going to amount to ~$5 which is totally fine by me!
That’s it. If you browse previous posts, there is plenty of guesswork going on.
Looking into it.
Well what do you know ,...4 stellar quads , ......2 of which are unreleased!!
I'm afraid I have to pass on Toulouse Street . I have the Doobies box.
(Now if it contained some 'bonus quad' ??,.......Well., that would make it an instant purchase, for me anyway!)
Foghat-Energized and J Geils Bloodshot , when they arrive, should make my day.
Thanks Steve , and everyone at Rhino , I think we really appreciate these.
It must be a sign that the DB albums still have a market untapped for hi-rez and quad. Apparently Rhino does not believe in illusions of “quad-blocked” by MFSL either.
Hopefully, some of the other potential rock titles for a Quadio release could still become reality in the future, like Deep Purple's Stormbringer oder James Gang's Miami. And Rod Stewart's Atlantic Crossing. We just have to be patient.
Did I miss something? Will there be another Quadio release (single disc) on the 25th? Or is this related to the rumoured Alice Cooper box set for "Muscle of Love", which will include the Quad mix as well as some other unreleased stereo mixes?
Yes, the mentioned "break-up" for the auto-buy of all titles only pertains to the people who did automatically buy every release so far (= collecting the whole series). I was under the impression that there are quite a few people who are willing to venture into new musical fields by simply just buying every bundle when it comes out. And a high percentage of those people might also already have the Doobies set.
For all others, who only select the titles that they really want, this apparently is not an issue at all.
But for Rhino, I think it was a nice thing to know that whatever they release, there are a number of people who always simply buy the whole lot on release day. I am assuming this number of customers will be decreasing with the new batch.
I play mine through my Oppo 105D. There ara a few (Carly Simin, e.g.) that default to Atmos, but the color buttons can select the quadio or stereo, and it switches fine.
How are you playing your discs?
