Let's just hope this doesn't turn into another "Bridge Over Troubled Water", lol

Hopefully, Sean, Santana isn't averse to QUAD remasters like Paul Simon and this will be the start of a beautiful Santana core reissue program!

Good point 4ears if importcd offers this at $35 plus shipping and tax Ill wait. Im closer to Japan here than you are but its still a long way to ship.

But you're closer to ImportCD's headquarters in Itasca, Illinois than you are to the Empire of the Sun!
 
OMG!!!! TFF!! I'm currently just finushed watching the 1st season of the TV show in Blu Ray format!! HOLLY COINCIDENCE BATMAN!!!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: 🤞🤞🤞:love::love::love::SB:SB:SB
I´ll go one step further...I found someone who had done the HERCULEAN task of dubbing the Original 60s Mexican Spanish dubbing to the BluRay video!!! (the MAIN reason why I NEVER got the BD sets, which , as opposed to the Hanna Barbera cartoons and The Addams Family DVDs where the Spanish dubbing WAS included!)
So much fun hearing Robin say "¡Santa Cachucha, Batman!"
 
Beautiful! I guess they had to model it after the U.S. quad jacket as there never was a Japan SQ release.

Not sure on the original equipment listed but how cool would it be if they had some brand new Marantz 4400's for sale? Just for increased authenticity?! Gotta get those details sorted... :)

In all seriousness this looks like a fantastic set... Well done Sony Japan...
 
Well, one down and about 8 or more to go

as much as i cannot wait (!!!!) for Sony Japan to do the numerous excellent Santana Quad mixes (incl. stuff like "Borboletta", "Love Devotion Surrender", "Caravanserai"..) i am curious to see if they tackle the later more 'head-scratching' ones done by Fred Catero in San Francisco that are said to be faux surround (1976's "Amigos" & 1977's "Festival")... and with a 7" SACD of "Headhunters" on the horizon it will be interesting to see if Sony Japan do the similarly 'clangy-reverby-also-surmised-to-be-fake' Quad mix (also mixed by Fred Catero) of Herbie Hancock's 1976 album "Secrets"... interesting times ahead for the nutjob Quad obsessive with a penchant for getting to the bottom of thingsssss..!!! 👀🤣

oh ps.! please Sony Japan (or someone.. DV?) do the Quad of "Azteca"...its fackin'amazin'so'it'is.. alright thanks bye!!!!! 🤩

I like the time frame of those Jeff Beck 7" Quad SACDs, as mentioned in these fabulous posts:
