That's a very good observation. Will Rhino release everything that was once released in quad (and a few that never made it?)
I'd love to see EDGAR WINTER Group "Shock Treatment" be released. It qualified for an RIAA Gold Record back in the day for 1 Million Dollars in Sales which is nothing to sneeze at. Im sure it would garner some interest. Contains the Top 40 hit "Rivers Risin".i don't think we're at the bottom of the barrel yet, there's still arguably the best of the Seals & Crofts Quads to come ("Diamond Girl")
and then there's a couple more of their albums in Quad as well (not so great admittedly), the remaining 2 x Spinners Quads have even better mixes than the already released eponymous Quadio (the remaining 2 albums mixed by Don Murray who did the superb Philadelphia International Quad mixes of The O'Jays "Ship Ahoy" & Harold Melvin's "Black & Blue"), there's the (for me) better mixed of the 2 x Graham Central Station Quads still on the horizon (1975's "Ain't No Bout A Doubt It"), the Stardrive Featuring Robert Mason "Intergalactic Trot" album is real showcase Quad with a marvellous mix, there's more Gordon Lightfoot, Randy Newman and Carly Simon Quads and reissues of out of print and sought after Quads like Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" and potentially any other previously unreleased mixes before we even get into Maria Muldaur, Arlo Guthrie, Dionne Warwick and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band territory, let alone Tony Orlando, New Seekers and all that jazz..!
Awesome photo Jon, I have all that you have except 1 and mine are all open with hype sticker gone
.
Do you ever open and play them?
it's not one of Rhino's unfortunately, it's a Sony title so we have to hope either Dutton Vocalion or Sony Japan tackle it
Thats the 1st Quadio released, right?
Of course. I have dupes of most of them, and save the stickers and wrap for posterity. For the picture, I used mostly the unopened ones. However, on the boxes, I always only open them from the side and leave the shrink over them. Don't worry, they get listened to.

The one is CTA stand alone Quadio, I never knew that was a release, tell us the story on that one. I know I could look on Discogs but funner to hear from you.
Yeah....to get that D~V album cover I had to enlist the services of discogs so I guess Perry Como does appeal to Dutton Vocalion's MAIN CUSTOMER BASE BIG TIME!
How many of those would be commercially successful (to any degree) if released down the road?
Yeah, if some garage band put out a stereo album that sold 150 copies and there’s a known unreleased quad mix, no matter how available it might be, it wouldn’t make sense to put it out. And I’d be surprised if there weren’t dozens of examples.
they've probably already prepared as many viable titles again as they've already released, so i'm hopeful for at least another half a dozen bundles of 4 over the next year and a half or so
I love Quad, but if I don't like the music, then it's totally meaningless for me.they've probably already prepared as many viable titles again as they've already released, so i'm hopeful for at least another half a dozen bundles of 4 over the next year and a half or so
That will be coming in a few months in the other Rhino line.
