RHINO QUADIO batch #6 - Speculation Extravaganza!

[SomethingAnything]

I'm battling Rhino at the moment, went to put in an order, got a "Something Went Wrong" notice on placing the order, as no confirmation email arrived, tried again a couple of hours later, worked fine got the confirmation, next thing I know I'm getting 2 shipments and "Ashley" at Rhino Store is telling me I have to return the items at my own cost with international tracked, which will cost more than the order, tried explaining it was their system error and I had just followed instructions on their site, never had these problems dealing with Dr Rhino

Perhaps let them know you're an active QQ member and would like to let others know you have been looked after?

Or maybe someone on here would want to buy the duplicate items?

I did exactly that, then left transaction feedback of 0 out of 10 with a detailed note, then made a separate complaint though Billing where I was told to refuse the shipment on arrival, I explained I never see the delivery people as I'm down a long driveway.... and YES they said they would reverse the billing on one of the shipments, which is great, but really it took a lot of (6 separate) communications from me, trying to convince them this occurred through no fault of my own but a glitch in their system..... anyway thenks to Sherry from Rhino a happy ending

Some good news in the end. That's great!

I am glad that Rhino was able to take care of your issue. My interaction(s) with their customer service team via email has been very positive. They have ALWAYS answered my emails and questions in a timely manner and even provided me a discount code for a future purchase unprompted (maybe I need to reach out again for another discount code!). I don't know how many people work for Rhino but I also know that they have also had to deal with the recent catastrophic Los Angeles area fires so I am sure that came into play as well.

I came of age in Connecticut in the late 1970s. This band was meat and potatoes for local rock radio. I did see them live once in June of 1979. They are what this is - good adolescent male rock and roll party music. Not particularly fancy - no prog rock time signatures - just simple rock and roll. The lead harmonica helps to define their sound and give them a different sound than other similar bands of the era. Plenty of cow bell on offer.

This quad mix is typical 70s quad discrete, which I love. I am pleased it has surfaced and been preserved. The fidelity is clear and clean.

I am giving this a 9, simply because musically I can't put it in the same class as DSOTM, Machine Head, Paranoid, and many of the others I feel deserve to be more highly rated. If I have any complaint, it is that not every song is strong as a song, like the titles listed above. But I was already familiar with three of the tracks, and am glad to have these in clean 70s quad goodness!

To me, this is a jewel in the quadio collection for its historic value as a lost quad, a document of the times, and a mix by legendary Bill Szymczyk.

One of the finest examples of the Easter eggs from @ForagingRhino vault digging.

For those who are younger, or missed it at the time, it's hard to appreciate what a badass, hard-touring live band J. Geils were in '73, after opening second or third billing on the concert circuit before becoming headliners.

Rolling Stone gave them the cover & centerfold spread, photos by Annie Leibovitz, August 1973.

From the weekend, a long read about J. Geils singer Peter Wolf, who is publishing his memoirs.

If that's too much for you, or you hate Bezos that much, your loss, OK?

Rock forgot one of its wildest front men. He’s got a story to tell.​

Peter Wolf befriended music legends, married a movie star and led the J. Geils Band.
His new memoir reminds us: He was there.

Geils, Stephen Bladd, Wolf and Danny Klein. “There's a looseness, and you're not as self-conscious live,” Wolf says. “It's different than being in the studio. But for the Geils Band, it was even more extreme.” (Ron Pownall/Getty Images)

I’m attending the Peter Wolf book event in NYC on Wednesday evening. It’s a Q&A with Warren Zanes
