Has anyone here ever heard this CD-4 quad LP? There's no date I can find in the images for it, but the stereo mix was first released on LP in 1970 in the UK (RCA Red Seal LSB 4009). That one was used by Yes as their intro music in the early 70s, famously heard on Yessongs.

I had no idea until today that a surround version existed.

Nope, wasn’t aware of that one, interesting find!

Always thought the ‘discrete 4 channel’
stereo looked a little confusing; would it have killed them to put an ‘and’ between

Another wonderful discovery newly released by Channel Classics [Multi~CH SACD]

C.P.E. Bach: Sonatas For Keyboard & Violin [listen to sample tracks]

Today's daily bargain on eClassical is Eivind Groven's 1st Symphony - Towards the Mountain. This has been a favorite discovery for me, and although it's only in 24-bit stereo, still very worth the $6.50: eClassical - Daily Deal

Another interesting DGG release [2 RBCDs/1 BD~A/V containing Video of the live concert and BD~A with Dolby Atmos]


Daniil Trifonov's latest album, BACH: The Art of Life, explores the scientific, emotional and spiritual dimensions of Johann Sebastian Bach's cosmos.

Nice recording, lovely playing but not top-of-the-heap music. Still, a pleasant listen.

What 2L release do people recommend to experience Atmos? I first came across 2L in Sound On Sound magazine, and they do seem like an interesting set-up: Mixing Atmos: Morten Lindberg

Morten’s recordings are quite varied in style but Magnificat (2L-106) is a good safe bet. There are many others of course.

That's a great profile, and a clear & thorough explanation of LIndberg's philosophy of surround recording. @edisonbaggins and others have some 2L favorites; among mine are Tomba Sonora (2L-155), Fryd (2L-158), Lux (2L-150), Lyden av Arktis (2L-169), and Reflections (2L-125).
