Fredblue goes to "11"
All their albums are great!
I hope Audio Fidelity can find their other Quads ("Full Sail", "Native Sons" = superb album btw.. even "Sittin' In" if the rumoured Quad mix actually exists..)
Doobies Mk. II (no Tom Johnston) did it in 78
None to familiar with them yet.
"Ahhhh..!"
I've definitely heard that a time or two. Pretty BA song.
Spectacular Elliot Scheiner 5.1 mix of the Doobie Brothers' classic "Captain and Me" album, with hits including "Long Train Runnin", "China Grove", available on both DVD-Audio and SACD.
Plus there were 4 Doobie Brothers' albums given the Quadraphonic treatment to similarly great surround effect back in the day:
Toulouse Street, (w/Listen To The Music, Rockin Down The Highway, Jesus Is Just Alright With Me)..
The Captain & Me.. (w/China Grove, Long Train Runnin, Without You, Dark Eyed Cajun Woman)..
"What Were Once Vices Are Habits Now" (w/Black Water, Eyes Of Silver, Another Park Another Sunday, Daughters Of The Sea, Road Angel)..
Stampede (w/Take Me In Your Arms Rock Me A Little While, Sweet Maxine, I Cheat The Hangman, Music Man)..
Check it out!
Me want Doobie quads!!!

My right elbow hurts.
I could live with double, or even a single doobie right now.

The Doobie Brothers albums from the Quad era were recently released on Stereo SACD by Mobile Fidelity and The Captain And Me was recently reissued on Multichannel SACD by Warner Japan.
So those are off the table for the Audio Fidelity Multichannel SACDs.

If AF wanted to, they could hire someone to mix into quad the two Takin' In To The Streets songs that are on Best Of The Doobies and then they could put that title out. The other songs on it are already mixed in quad. I think the investment would pay off.

Thanks Lizard King. It's been a fun project since Audio Fidelity agreed to try Multichannel SACD releases.
More than a year later now. And the titles are still coming - with more in discussion and in the pipeline.

I thought it was "plus four" ....
Depends on the album, AF has both.
Thank you for the info and status update.
Have you and/or Audio Fidelity made enquiries with Warner as to the availability of the unreleased 5.1 Elliot Scheiner remix of The Doobie Brothers' "Minute By Minute" album?
That'd be great on Surround SACD..
I wonder what proportion of these Audio Fidelity Surround SACDs sold are bought by people getting them primarily for the Quad/5.1 mixes.. Has AF done any outreach customer survey type thing?
It sucks to hear about all of these great albums being quad-blocked by these other labels who show no interest in saving the old quad mixes. WTF?
It's a shame AF could not just license the surround and release a surround only disc, but I doubt that would be cost effective for them and they operate on very small margins to begin with I'm sure. They'd probably have to charge $50 retail a disc and then we'd all be bitching about the price!
