Sun Ra: Is this LP quadraphonic or another person getting on the band wagon ?

[Richard A]

Space is the Place is definitely quad, sounds all over the place and spiral patterns on the scope. Magic City is pseudo-quad. Don't have a copy of Discipline 27-2, the other titles also result in spiral scope patterns so I believe they are quad.

Thanks very helpful. When you say scope what gear are you referring to?

This was just re-released last year by Verve as part of their Verve by Request series. It is apparently mastered by Ryan K Smith

In this case I am referring to a 2-channel stereo/XY(not quad vector) scope display. SQ/QS matrix encoded sources usually result in spiral patterns. Eight now, I only have a digital version on my PC, but it replicates a real scope display pretty well. You can also display "scope music" in this mode, see Jerobeam Fenderson on YT.
