In my opinion releasing the existing quad recording wouldn't be all that fantastic. What is needed is a total remix to 5.1 or Atmos. Releasing the existing recording would just be propagating crap.
The quad mix is actually really good, that prior DVD release just used a bad source (quad vinyl needledrop). Fan-made transfers of the 7.5 IPS quad reel sound great, so the 15 IPS master - assuming it still exists - is probably amazing.

Here's an idea: there was a small number of surround releases on dts CDs and DVD-A/Vs with dts-ES 6.1 mixes. Although I used to own (and still do) a capable receiver, later on I've ripped my discs to 7.1 FLACs with the back center channel info doubled into the two rear channels. So, here goes – could these mixes be easily ported to 7.1 mixes and re-released on lossless media (while retaining the 5.1 mix option)?

As for Midnight Oil, I'm really happy with the Capricornia dtsCD (mix by Greg Ladanyi) and would happily purchase any other album in surround/spatial, preferably Redneck Wonderland.

Limiting to titles that have been previously released in Quad and/or modern surround formats.
