Rhino Quadios - Batch 7 - Speculation

[ForagingRhino]

Thank you! Any clues you can drop to keep us guessing until then?

There will four titles.....

There will four titles.....

Well that kinda nails it down dun' it?

Can you say if the Quadio series is meeting Rhino expectations so far? Which bundle has sold best? The product releases themselves are awsome. You should be very proud.

Next clue

Like starts with Billy and ends with Cobham?

 

[rjstauber]

Looking forward to the next bundle, still many great titles which might see a release in the future. Still hoping for James Gang, Deep Pyrple's Stormbringer, Rod Stewart, some more Jazz titles, James Taylor, etc.

 

[H.A.L.]

SPITFIRE and James Gang are my preferred picks for the next batch.

 

[MIDIQ]

hoping for gordon lightfoot cold on the shoulder, David Gates would be great, and Herbie Mann. and James gang miami

 

[Juggsnelson]

David Gates would be great and that is coming from someone who was never a Bread fan until this Quadio series. It's by far the title I play most often and I never, ever would have guessed that.

Yes, was listening to David Gates 1st album the other day. Excellent album!

My (classical) Super Quadio proposal - easier packaging, easier promotion, easier shipping.

Although I'm not a classical music fan, I'd buy a multi-album Quadio single disc to get both Percussion Music and the William Bolcom Piano Music QuadraDisc mixes (the only classical quad albums I have) at the highest fidelity, especially the Percussion Music album.

I would spring for a Nonesuch "Quadio" box set with at least four albums included. Maybe eight albums (on four discs) if the production budget can swing it. A nice booklet also included with extensive notes by an expert on 20th Century Classical. But how many others would want it?

10 Nonesuch QuadraDiscs - I don't know about the rights issue - different classical musical acts on one ~400 minute Quadio or a box set with 2 or 3 acts/Quadio.

I think it'd be a good way to make the Nonesuch quads available by selling all 10 on one or a few Quadios for $60 to $80 (the Nonesuch quad LPs were $3.98 whereas the other WEA quad LPs were $6.98).

You guys certainly realize that there isn't the slightest chance of getting that over the line.
I do love that William Bolcom Gershwin album.
Solo piano in quad?

 

[steelydave]

Pretty sure that most of those Nickrenz/Aubort-engineered quad albums were recorded with a single quadraphonic microphone array placed amongst the musicians (or musician, in the case of the Bolcom album) for an ambient (almost binaural) presentation - you're not going to get much in the way of discrete fireworks with this kind of methodology, even off the master tapes.

 

[ForagingRhino]

Curious. Can anyone speak to the presentation of the Bolcom/Gershwin in quad? I see there was a quad reel...

It's actually (surprisingly?) a pretty great sounding album. Not to mention historically significant. But I don't know how they did it....

I recently played a Debussy recital [Stereo SACD] performed by a very talented Japanese female solo pianist in a DSP SUPER surround mode on my Meridian 861 v.8 pre/pro and it was akin to being inside the piano. ...so extraordinary were the sonics!

I'm sure the Bolcom Gershwin recital in QUAD would likewise produce Fascinating Rhythms!

And the Nonesuch label was always highly regarded for both its content and sonics!

I gather a bunch of Nonesuch 4-chans were on quad reels.

It’ll remain a future fan project for some fanatic to work on. You know how dedicated they can be. LOL!

 

[jefe1]

I think a twofer of the Percussion Music and Varese albums is the best bet for a viable Nonesuch Quadio that would sell some units.
It's lively music and Varese was a popular composer for some of the rock crowd. Hey Zappa liked him.

FR, There's NO SUCH THING AS NO NONESUCH IN QUAD!

I will lend you the Bolcom/Gershwin quad reel if you'd like to audition it.
