Rhino Quadios - Batch 7 - Speculation

[quadrifonico]

It is the clunkiest I've encountered. Discount codes haven't worked for me in well over a year, with 2 browsers. I did finally figure out that their order page breaks (hit button, nothing happens or throws an error) with ad blockers or extensions of any kind, including my password manager, enabled in Firefox. Something with captcha. Who knows, but it is amateur hour programming.

After several years of complaints, numerous posts from a lot of folks here about problems placing orders, I guess they don't care they have a crappy web ordering system. I've gotten used to it, temporarily disable all Firefox extensions to place the order or try using Edge with no extensions.

to me they said that codes will not work because thay are not valid for the new batch...whatever that would mean...

Pretty exciting releases, actually. I've never heard Roots, or Live At Filmore West, so surely will be a treat to own these. Of course, I ordered all 4 and picked up Devo's Freedom Of Choice vinyl to get free shipping.

I think you're gonna LOVE that Devo slab! It sounds ridiculously good and makes one of my go-to lists:

Mayfield's "roots" isn't a must have, yes, but i'm sure you will like the Fillmore

“Roots” is a major treat. 70’s Quadraphonic mixes are such good blessings for these old albums. Like hearing them again for the first time.

well remind me when 8th batch will be released?

I believe it's been about once per quarter. So 3 months from now.

Wonder if the next batch will follow a theme. Batch 6 was more "rocking". Batch 7 was in celebration of Black History Month. Singer/songwriter batch? (Carly, JT, Lightfoot, Newman, for examples). Or a mixed selection?

Okay, so because of Rhino's ever-wonky website, high shipping costs, and discount codes that don't work, I'm now willing to wait the 90 days until they show up on Amazon. I'd like to know if the Deluxe Edition of Muscle of Love is going to be on Amazon as well, or will that be a Rhino website exclusive? Thank you. @ForagingRhino

I don't see it in the descriptions, but the Spectrum Quadio also includes the DVD-A 5.1 mix, which is a first for a Quadio that had a DVD-A release.

Pretty much obsoletes all other surround versions of this album, IMHO

LOVE AND AWESOME ALL AT ONCE-I can't wait.

Can't wait to have it all, as a British friend accused me of not having enough Black music. He was right, especially if it was quad!

The discount codes shouldn't work. They are old and not intended to work going forward. Anyone who had luck using them previously, was just that. luck.
Of course, this is just my opinion....but I'm always right, so....

Yes Gene! That's good enough for me....

I think you know which album I want the most on quad.

Sidenote: Cobham turned 80 last year, and he sat for DownBeat's famous "Blindfold Test" last November. (He didn't pass with flying colors, exactly, but the conversation was still interesting, and he kicked things off by giving big props to one of my favorite contemporary drummer-composer-bandleaders, Allison Miller.)
