Rhino Quadios - Batch 7 - Speculation

[fredblue]

I love Quad, but if I don't like the music, then it's totally meaningless for me.

of course that's perfectly fair enough, none of us is under any obligation to purchase anything at all that we don't want or are not interested in

I would buy all of the Jefferson Airplane quads

IMO the WEA group of labels probably ran the most 'curated' approach to artist rostering of all the majors in the '70s, and their quad mixes (released and unreleased) are for the most part the most commercially viable of those, so even today, 50 years later there aren't many I'd be worried couldn't sell out a minimum Blu-Ray pressing (1,000?) especially given the perpetual 4-for-the-price-of-3-plus-10-to-15-percent-off sale that Rhino's website is running.

Modern Jazz Quartet Plastic Dreams please.

I don’t know which of the MJQ quads has the best surround mix, but from the point of view of the music, I am most interested in a Quadio release of The Last Concert.

I agree. I've changed my mindset these days to not being a collector, but more of a "if I like it, I buy it." I bought a few, like Hot Tuna and Gil Evans, but I ended up selling it soon after arrival. Not my bag. They only cost me $5 because of the bundle deal, so a win for me and the buyer.

Disappointed in "The Doobie Brothers Toulouse Street" release in this set. For those of us wanting to collect them all and support Rhino, we are just paying for a duplicate contained in the box set. I think they should have included an Atmos mix on the disc so that we would have additional content and value to make the purchase worthwhile.

You don't have to buy it.
I'm sitting out Foghat too.
I'll just wait until I can bundle 4 I want, or buy on sale in a few months.
