Rhino Quadio - Batch #8 Speculation

[J. PUPSTER]

I do believe one likely candidate for a Quadio release is the 'James Gang's Miami' album. It has a slim tie in with Cobham's Spectrum with Tommy Bolin playing guitar; and although no Joe Walsh, it seems it would be no less insignificant for popularity than something like 'HOT TUNA'S Burgers'.
IINM, Burgers hit #68 on charts and Miami was #97; (OK a slight edge goes to BURGERS; but both within the top 100 for their year.)

• Remix [Remixed for Quadraphonic], Producer – Tom Dowd

- if not batch #8, hopefully within the next couple

I think there are enough unreleased Quadio titles either produced or mixed by Dowd that you could do a nice themed batch:

Herbie Mann - Hold On, I'm Comin'
Souther, Hillman, Furay Band - Trouble in Paradise (would make a nice two-fer with their first album)
Rod Stewart - Atlantic Crossing
James Gang - Miami

and possibly Aretha's With Everything I Feel, if a quad mix exists.

Does anyone know if the quad for War’s “Why Can’t We Be Friends” exists?

Yes, it definitely does, though you'd presume the quad mixes of Deliver the Word (1973) and maybe WAR Live! (1974) would come first if they're doing things in chronological order following The World is a Ghetto, but then again, 2025 is the 50th anniversary of Why Can't We Be Friends? release...
