Funny. I ordered mine from imports CD for $54 with shipping but it shows a release date of next week. Oh well at least $25 cheaper than I found anywhere else...if i actually receive it

Santana - Abraxas Japanese Quad SACD Officially Announced (October 28, 2020)
- Thread starter steelydave
- Start date
Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
well Sony did a real limited edition run with all those Isley, O'Jays, etc Quad Single Layer SACD things people clamour for now, they clearly didn't make enough of them back then and they're now scarce as hen's gnashers.. but i'm sure you're right (you're bloody well right!) you usually are
because i can't afford Abraxassholes this month!

2K Club - QQ Super Nova
Just picked up my order from CD Japan.....guess what I'll be doing today!! 
My copy was just delivered and it is as great a set as all the others 
, all I need is time now to listen to it (and the rest on the to listen to pile!) as yet more conference calls , and then I read Adam's post and feel guilty as I know he'd put in the player instantly.

Yeah I’m really bummed about that one; it’s my favorite Santana album by far. The playing on it (yes mostly live) is unreal.Moonflower was released shortly after CBS stopped issuing quad LPs
And I got my Abraxas last night three days early, wonder if it’s any good-
Also, for those ripping these 7” beauties on a Sony machine, go with the direct to flash drive method; you’ll have a better chance of avoiding that pesky center channel pop.
so obvious that Sony released the Jeff Beck Quads on 7-inch SACD the exact same chronological way Ralphiekins?
umm.. no they did not!
a wee recap;
so we got BxB (March 2014),
- then it was years before the Orange album (June 2016, Audio Fidelity had already done the Quad in the meantime in Aug 2015)..
- then there was BBA (July 2016)..
- then Wired (Nov 2016)..
..and finally Rough & Ready (Jan 2017).
..but maybe we shouldn't let the facts get in the way of a good yarn! its fun to fantasize!

feel the guilt.... feel it...
put down that hotline and slip in that 7-incher... do it... NOW!!!!
Yes, however the relatively accelerated bunched up timing is what looks similar; and hey we want ‘em all anyhow right?so obvious that Sony released the Jeff Beck Quads on 7-inch SACD the exact same chronological way Ralphiekins?

But the traveling herd of camels is the one I want most.
tbh i expect nothing.. that way i won't be disappointed when nothing happens as expected!
while i'm super excited to hear the Quads of "Borboletta", "Caravanserai", "Welcome", "III", "Love Devotion, Surrender" fresh from the masters, i'm almost dreading them doing the fake Quads of "Amigos" & "Festival".. even though by the reckoning of the great Quad God Rammiepie those two jokers are approximately 11 months, 3 weeks, 18 days, 7 hours and 38 seconds away from release, i can hear the complaints already!!
Sure! But any chance in hell a little more mixing to go with the mastering on those two slugs, since they do have total access?tbh i expect nothing.. that way i won't be disappointed when nothing happens as expected!

I just received notice from the seller on ebay (Maximum Rare Records and CD's Japan) that they are shipping my order. I paid $62.19. Hopefully I will get by the end of next week. Hopefully... I can't wait to hear it.
I thought Borboletta was a little weak also?tbh i expect nothing.. that way i won't be disappointed when nothing happens as expected!

brand new 5.1 mixes from the multi's would do it Mister Pupster, the Quads are a total disaster imho
oh really? i remember enjoying that one back when i was hoovering up ye olde SQ Quad LPs!
I guess a revisit is in order

Bit the bullet and bought both the S/T and this one from ImportCDs. Hopefully I get them, and definitely a bit of FOMO on these titles. Now i'm done buying stuff for the year! (probably not true...)
I just cashed in 300 birthday points to get my CDjapan order down to $52.
I'm too cheap to pay for expedited shipping. If I can wait 4 months for Alecia Keys to ship from Germany, I can wait a couple extra weeks to ship from Japan.

Well, I NEVER said I was good in MATH, Moonflower! Abraxas coincidentally was released 'almost' to the day of its 50th Anniversary and it would make sense that Santana III and Caravanserai would be next in line but rather than guesstimate:
