Ooh yours is in lovely nick compared to mine!
Kinda mixed feelings about this though, as an album, I mean.. as a live Quad mix it's pretty good and not just crowd noise and ambience back there.. from a live performance pov though, it's a bit "meh" at times imho.. some of the arrangements are lacking/uninspired compared to the studio renditions, the band don't play with too much gusto really (it sounds like they're tired out..?) and vocally it often shows up his limitations, especially wrt "tuning".. ...I still enjoy it but it's not a patch on the O'Jays Live Quad recorded around the same time, may even be the same gig or at least tour by the sounds of it, the compere doing the hosting sounds like the same chap. As a Quad, not bad.. as a live album, nothing special oh one of the other things that hit me, it's a short set like around half an hour or something!

Hi. fredblue

I concur with you in general with Live music I do prefer studio mixes as well, there is only a handful Live LP`s I really like one is Santana Lotus Live in Japan but unfortunately we both got the Quad Bugggg ...........:bounce:bounce.......... when buying.

Re:LIVE QUAD DISCS.



When it comes to quad discs (regardless of format, SQ, QS, EV-4, DY-4D, CD-4, UD-4, RM....etc.).....I find most and I do mean most as in the majority. ?

DO NOT CHEAT ON THE REAR CHANNELS !



The same can not be said of 5.1 live discs.

Soo true fizzy...

Philadelphia Freedom - MFSB (Israeli SQ LP; SQ 69208)

Well here's one you don't see every day..
(That Zip-zip-zip-zip-zip-zip... its really got me going..! )

 

[fizzywiggs41]

Scarcely a quad mention on that Israeli MFSB SQ album.

I wonder if it was "single inventory" and made available to a larger market-locally of course.

Most likely, no. CBS/Sony was pretty clear about marking those albums that were SQ-encoded as such. It's probably a great sounding record, but stereo.

I'd love to hear The Ventures and John Keating in Quad. Very nice LPs!

Simon, the John Keating album was released in Canada as "John Keating Incorporated", by Capitol Canada, in full SQ quad. I have a copy of this album. And it is a great one.

Love the sleeve.
