Rhino Quadio - Batch #8 Speculation

[fizzywiggs41]

It would be redundant for me to ask again for SPITFIRE, although it seems likely, since DRAGON FLY was in a batch.

I'm only doing it here to make the 2K Club without being too off-thread .

Oh yes , Spitfire is a possible title.

That this batch will be eclectic-electronic ? , that's still a guess on my part.

I’d love to hear your opinion on those Joni Quadios.

There might be a comment by me in the polls , but I absolutely love all four in that box set.

Speculation and a want list of sorts.

Jefferson Starship - Spitfire
David Gates - David Gates
Seals & Crofts - Unborn Child
Deep Purple - Stormbringer

also

Carly Simon - Carly Simon
The New Seekers - Best of the New Seekers
Curtis Mayfield - Back to the World
James Gang - Miami

I'd buy all 8!

Only the once?

I wonder if Ihan Mimaroglu (LA Ruche/To Kill A Sunrise) is with Rhino now ?
Previously it was a Folkways album and Ilhan's lone quad title.
Even though he was a Producer at Atlantic Records , and I might add had 2 or 3 titles on Atlantic/Finnadar..but stereo only.


Now if this batch is not all electronic, I would love to see the re issue of
James Gang Miami ,
and Deep Purple Stormbringer ,
and James Taylor Gorilla .

I know Gene's double won't stand for just one copy each.

'In for a penny in for a pound' Gene's Genie.

No doubts on QQ that @GOS Gene is a committed Rhino Quady .

I know this thread is obviously borne out of enthusiasm for the Quadio program, but isn't it a bit soon to be trashing the response to batch 7 and moving on to batch 8 before anyone's even had a chance to receive, digest and enjoy their batch 7 discs?

You make it sound like they just run it through a software program and they get a quad mix. Someone has to create that mix and it costs money. If the return on that investment isn't sufficient to make it worthwhile there is no reason for them to do it. Remember that most of the consumers of physical media do not care or want quad mixes, especially if it will cost them more for the disc.

They don’t create a new quad mix. These are all quad mixes that have existed since the 70s. Which is why we’re getting them in quad instead of 5.1 or Atmos.

There are no doubt expenses involved in producing these discs, but creating the mix is not one of them .

What these Speculation threads need is a sticky post at the top summarizing what we have learned from previous threads (mostly from @ForagingRhino posts) as to what quad mixes Rhino currently has access, has been prevented from releasing and that actually exist (with addendum for possible titles that may have been mixed for quad and went unreleased), etc., etc.

Writing such sounds too much like work....

La Ruche/To Kill a Sunrise is owned by Smithsonian Folkways. I corresponded with the research staff at the Folklife Center a couple of years ago to see if they could scour the archives for a) the quad master tapes for To Kill a Sunrise and/or b) any production notes that might offer insight into Mimaroglu's quad mixing philosophy. Unfortunately their searches came up empty. Their only recommendation was to try to track down Tom Dwyer, the mastering engineer. I had no luck with that.

In this post from a decade ago, @steelydave actually listed three Finnadar CD-4s (and possibly Q8?) for which Mimaroglu almost certainly did the quad mix: Eric Saltzman, Wiretap; George Flynn/John Cage, Wound/Winter Music; and Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. AoQ discussed his research into the latter album in this thread:
