Rhino Quadios - Batch 7 - Speculation

[Quad Linda]

Would the Merry go Round album by Johnny Nash be possible?

Great album BUT
It is owned by Sony.
Perhaps it could be a Dutton Vocalion title.

Johnny Mathis would make me very happy. I'm sure there is some reason it can't happen....

probably because he's been exclusively a Columbia artist since 1967.

afaik it's on Epic and currently under the Sony Music umbrella so isn't in Rhino's remit. Dutton Vocalion might be able to secure it

snap! sorry, only just seen your reply! Merry Christmas to you and your family Linda

Why not the Spinners? I've been predicting "Pick of the Litter" the last two times now. Not that I want it that badly just sayin'.

I think that we can rule out artists influenced by black artists and focus strictly on black artists. There is no shortage of them.

My greatest hope would be for more War.

I'm only familiar with Graham Central Station from the last Quadio release but would welcome more!

A sonic upgrade of "The Best Of Aretha Franklin" would be nice at some point.

the other Graham Central Station Quad, 1975's "Ain't No 'Bout-A-Doubt It", is absolutely fantastic!! one of Warner's best (and sadly last ) Quad mixes with lots of cool panning and effects, a real Surround spectacular

 

[fredblue]

Are we too soon for another Rhino Spinners or Graham Central Station release? An idle question…

possibly not too soon, bearing in mind what's available and the Black History theme of the next batch

 

[Quad Linda]

Merry Christmas to you, Fred, er Adam!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa & Happy New Year to ALL!

I would be greatly surprised if a recording by a black jazz artist is not included in the next batch. It would certainly fit the Rhino template, as it were.

oh yes, hopefully! there weren't many Atlantic Jazz Quads and most of the biggies have been covered by Rhino's Quadio programme already (Duke Ellington's "New Orleans Suite", Charlie Mingus "Mingus Moves", Gil Evans "Svengali"), at this stage there's 3 x Herbie Mann Quads, "Push Push", "Hold On, I'm Coming" (Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival, 1972), "Reggae" and 3 more by The Modern Jazz Quartet, "Plastic Dreams", "Blues On Bach" & "The Complete Last Concert" and probably some others i can't remember

Oops. That was a typo. I meant "yes" to Spinners. GCS, more unlikely, especially since they had one in bundle 5. Spinners were back in bundle 2!

Herbie Mann would be awesome and, as much as he's got a nice black influence in his music, he was a good white, Jewish boy. So not likely in this next batch.

Still, if Discothèque ever was found to have an unreleased quad, (1975,) I'd lose my mind! Hi-Jack was a huge hit for him, his only pop song and it topped the "Disco" charts at the time for several weeks. Still, I'd take any of his quad works, like Push Push, which was on Q8 only.

Adam, you make a very good case for a MJQ release!

 

[quadrifonico]

Aretha! For those of us who missed out the first time around.

if the Curtis Mayfield Quads actually still exist and Rhino choose to Quadio-ize them, that would be superb as tapes were said to have gone up in a blaze at the artist's home!

 

[Old Quad Guy]

Curtis Mayfield would be great. I’ve been wondering about the tapes as well. Do they exist, or a back up?

I hope your positivity holds true.

Wow , another fire yet , on master tapes ?

Me thinks, Iron Mountain came to be , just a few years late , Freddie.

Maybe this is a case for sleuthing, via @ForagingRhino

I would love to see Mayfield 's Roots as a Quadio .

in the early 90's, Curtis Mayfield's Mother was caring for him in the wake of the horrific accident that paralyzed him when stage rigging at a concert fell on him breaking his back, rendering him quadriplegic.
his Mother had apparently abandoned a lit candle which had somehow set fire to the house. Mayfield was rescued from the building while it was ablaze but the fire destroyed many of his recordings which were stored down in the basement. some of his tapes were reportedly salvaged but many were said to have perished in that fire.
