Looks likely. I don't have the album, so was not familiar.
Rhino Quadios - Batch 7 - Speculation
- Thread starter kfbkfb
- Start date
Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
I feel like the silver #2 could be The Spinners Pick Of The Litter, the red and black stripped # 4 could be another Spinners, New & Improved. The grass and sky on # 1 hints at the gatefold and rear of Alice Coltrane's Reflection On Creation And Space, which would thrill me.
My edumacated guess about this one:
i was trawling through all the WEA Quad LPs and couldn't come up with anything at all for any of the spine hints for this batch, bar maybe Spinners' "Pick Of The Litter" (Black text on a Silver background) and then i started wading through fantasy land titles that weren't originally WEA Quads but Rhino owns now and this kinda fitted with the colours?
then i flipped over to the rear of the sleeve! 
WOW! I think you found one there! Roots!
I'm sure there are many of those!

Roots - or any Curtis - would be amazing.
According to the story, she was told by an astrologer that her career would rebound if she added an extra letter to her name, hence the "E" at the end of her last name. It had just the opposite effect. She took it back out, and her career recovered.

Aretha (Franklin) Live at Fillmore West - back cover. Well if it ain't this one, what a heck of a matchup anyway! Good shootin'.
I guessed first
IIRC, WMG/Rhino doesn't have the rights to Aretha Franklin albums now.

They still have her catalog up on their website and many titles available.
I'd like to believe that this album in quad, 1) survived the bad fire and water damage done to the Curtis estate tape vault, 2) is a good mix when mastered from a good original source) and 3) is part of the next bundle.
Was it this and "Back to The World" which were the two Mayfield quads, and BTTW is known to be a big disappointment? I think I have Roots from a horrid QR transfer that sounds so bad it actually resembles a worn out Q8. Or I was lied to and it is a Q8 transfer?
At any rate, this is majorly important.
Just the later albums have reverted back, Rhino have the heavy ones lock, stock, and barrel.

Wow, looks like you nailed that one.
I don't think that there was a Quad reel of "Roots" just the Q8. I think that you have a Q8 transfer. A Quadio release will be so welcome!
I'd say our Quad Detectives have pinned-down the 2 with colorful spines and the Cobham text color looks right for the 3rd title.
The remaining title is a basic black/white spine which may fit MJQ Last Concert, Spinners' Pick Of The Litter, The Wiz, and no doubt others.
I doubt this batch will have another War quad since Rhino is releasing a 2cd live set by them on Feb 7th.
