Indeed. The "cannot fail" unit! Or, the little engine that could, and DOES.Involve Surround Master v2
I have a few of the QM LP's, and they sound wonderful through the Surround Master v.2, using the Involve 4.1 setting. You'd swear they were discrete.So I'm curious, what's your preferred decoding method (device) for your QM LP's?
Nice BBQ, when you get a chance, I'd really would like to know how that Thrill & Suspense release sounds (and more importantly, what is 4S System Matrix?)Hi. All
I have been a bit late in showing my new QUAD soft ware, .. family things to do first .. so here they are...
BBQ...

i also find it interesting the Ron Goodwin's evidence of yet more EMI Quads that were SQ in UK/US and seemingly RM/QS in Japan!
also i imagine any Manuel and the Music Of The Mountains would have been SQ in the UK, yet here it is in QS in Japan!
It's too bad Capitol, EMI's American arm, wasn't as gung-ho on quad as in the rest of the world. The only quad records we saw from Capitol, aside from the Angel and Seraphim classical recordings, were samplers. EMI put out a large number of quad LP's in the rest of the world that we never knew existed. Not cool!i also find it interesting the Ron Goodwin's evidence of yet more EMI Quads that were SQ in UK/US and seemingly RM/QS in Japan!

I find it interesting that “Manuel” (Geoff Love) fathered Adrian Love, the loveable and creative radio presenter. He memorably hosted the bi-weekly outrageous and unmissable Capital Radio medical / sexual problem phone-in show featuring the Doctor, the fantastically acerbic Anna Raeburn and a string of wonderfully inventive obscene calls which forced the IBA to introduce a 10s delay in order to edit them out. Sadly lost after a road traffic accident.
Who can forget those stickers on UK SQ LP's: For people with four ears.It's too bad Capitol, EMI's American arm, wasn't as gung-ho on quad as in the rest of the world.

But the releases, everywhere but Japan, were SQ encoded, and I presume they all came from the same mix. So if they were good enough for other countries, why not the USA? Same SQ mixes! Japan was the maverick; they used QS instead.maybe part of the reason Capitol didn't do Quad LP releases beyond the samplers was because the mixes they were receiving were deemed unsuitable for the SQ system?
some of them feel like they might not decode all that well if they were SQ encoded..

The Mandingo albums, one of which I have, were released in Canada, but not the US. "Band" and "Venus" were released in SQ in the UK, but only on Q8 here. "Band"' sounds like real quad, but "Venus" sounds a bit odd.true.. i'm thinking things like Band On The Run, Venus & Mars, some of the "are they even real Quad?" Capitol Q8 releases like Glen Campbell's "Reunion".. doubt any of it would have worked well enough in SQ form.. Capitol probably tried some of their earlier mixes out for Quad vinyl and found they'd backed the wrong (SQ) horse!
that said, there were a few interesting releases, a couple of Mandingo's and Sound Hits cover albums which were Capitol label Quads in certain territories and jolly nicely the SQ decoded on them too so i'm probably talking a load of old piffle as usual!
