I know, Francois, but that might be the only alternative. I'm certain, at least, that MoFi will do their usual spectacular job with the original analogue RCA masters....perhaps our only consolation.
Are you proposing a Box Set of All Guess who Quads, Fizzy?
(or are you just pleased to see us?
Ok, sure why not.Some of their early material would be sweet on quad sacd.
And #10 , Best of vol 2 are must owns for quadro inclined people,( you really should hear those two in CD-4 btw-nice quad great pressings)
ok ok a Guess Who Box set, in quad, on SACD. Who wouldn't be pleased to see that.,!?

Dammit.. would it be too harsh to accuse them of more Quadblocking..!? :violin

..and a couple of others released on LP from MFSL in the last year or so, which to my mind means Stereo only SACDs are a foregone conclusion, so you can pretty much forget the Quads of them in MultiCh anytime soon..
Big Brother & The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
Spinners - S/T
Give it some time, One or Two years at best for some, like the one's out for too long.
Mo-Fi can't have the rights to all of em, forever. Then A.F. can pounce on em for us starving masses of crazy quadraphiles.

Well I wish I shared your optimism, Fizzy.. but I would dearly love your sentiment to be true! :banana:
Meantime, I worked out I have all but 3 of those Quads that MFSL have "Quadblocked" (whether intentionally or not that's the upshot at this point in time) in some shape or form, so in essence I guess I'm good for them.. but none of the copies I hold are fresh from the 4-channel mastertapes, so they're all really only facsimiles of the real thing.. and AF would have course furnished us with Quads in 4-channel Master quality.. *sigh*.. time for a consolatory (consoling?) pint methinks... Cheers! :beer2

Ok, here's one...... Are you guys ready?
Barry Manilow surround SACD from Audio Fidelity
There, I said it, I like Barry Manilow songs
One of my favorites?
Looks like we made it from his 1976 album, This One's for You. 40 years ago!!!!!!!! My god!!! I'm getting old
Regards,
I'm in for this. The cd-4 tracks horribly, no Q8 and this has 3 hits on it I think.

Brad Miller was a surround sound guru, starting with a few sound effect Quadradiscs.

Adam, I think IT'S TIME to order a HIT on the powers that be at MoFi.......but then, again, the infamous Kray Brothers, Reggie and Ronald, are sadly deceased! :ugham:

absolutely Jon, we'd have the better part of those Quads (and more, I imagine) by now on either DTS CD or DVD-A, probably..
Oh yes do it! Always loved Stampede and Blue Jays
They're both excellent Quads imho, Duncan.. whether or not we'll ever see them reissued in tip top quality on a modern format now is much less of a sure thing though..
Hate aggression in any form (unless its an aggressive Quad or 5.1 mix of course
) but it is very tempting to send a virtual exorcet missile their way and stop them before they Quadblock everything that's sacred to us.. for a time it looked like AF had MFSL in their sights and was heading them off with so many great Quad reissues one after the other.. but now.. who will be our white knight on a surround steed..!?
Wonder if every copy of the CD-4 is so blighted, or if there might just be a hot stamper out there that tracks like a good'un..?

The AQ-4090 is a legendary CD-4 LP. The engineers at Arista knew it would be the last so they pushed it to the very max of the spec. If you have one, you'll notice that the run out groove area is huge compared to a regular LP. They put the grooves with the music very close together cramming as much data as they could into the vinyl. I may have some of this wrong, but Nick Perugini knows more about it that I remember. It's considered a true test of a CD-4 demodulator. If yours can play this LP without issue, it's set up perfectly and it's a good demodulator. Cheap units will not cut it.
