What's the Latest MATRIX LP/CD Added to Your Pile? SQ, QS, RM, EV

[J. PUPSTER]

I guess they were invoking Barbarella with that cover.

The Concerto de Aranjuez is one of the best guitar warhorses that there is and either John Williams or Pepe Romero are great interpreters.
The beginning of the third movement when played properly is a very exciting piece of music.
I have an SACD of the four Romeros performing it on Mercury Living Presence three channel as well as several CDs and LPs.

Another great Joaquin Rodrigo piece is En los Trigales (In the Wheat Fields) which is a solo guitar piece.

OK a little out of bounds for this thread, but relevant, this is a real nice DE SACD

I have been thinking about buying that. I haven't ordered from D-V yet but will eventually.

Although i don't have great expectations for this one – based on the poll thread – it will be nice to have Babs on display. Another sealed SQ Quadraphonic LP!

Barbra Streisand - Stoney End

 

[Quad Linda]

IMHO, Stoney End is one of Babs' best. Title track is from Laura Nyro's pen. It was a big hit for Babs.

Great covers, discrete Quad mix. A 9 or 10 for sure.

NICE! I LOVE "Stoney End" (and she covers a couple of other Nyro songs as well). I think the material is going to be excellent; I did read some slams about the mix, but now that you've given it the @Quad Linda stamp of approval, i'm all a-twitter at the prospect of hearing it! Woo hoo! Peace

I would love to get a decent conversion of that one! I used to have Stoney end in 45

Although i am interested in hearing this, i will admit i got it more to hang on the wall in the Quad Room!

Hmm , Project 3 were not known for issuing any single inventory quads , so...
I hope the platter inside is quad , being that's a stereo cover.

Just sayin'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_LightI knew his name back in the day but I knew nothing more about him.
Then I noticed people collecting hm so took a closer look. A real industry pioneer.
Singer his partner on Project 3 was a very high tech company once upon a time.

Yeah! I was a tad freaked out when it arrived! If you look at the discogs link on my post, the platter itself says what is pictured: "NEW 4 CHANNEL – WILL PLAY ON REGULAR STEREO" I wonder if it has something to do with consumers balking at LPs specifically marked 4 Channel. Sounded GREAT on through the SM v.2, but then again, most things do! It is listed as Quad on discogs The liner notes on the gatefold suggest it's compatible:

And the catalog # is QD, not SD:

So, methinks it's Quad. But the cover is a puzzler!

 

[John Svensson]

I think the QD designates it as the quad version as I hazily recall. There are threads just on the Project 3 releases.

Great wall art. I admit Ive bought many albums just for the covers at goodwills etc
Be sure to mount your album covers on a foldable screen
That way in April you can safely store them in your shopping cart when you set up for the night.

Ok good catch. Probably EV-4 encoded (or even QS) and should sound just fine with a Sansui or Involve Decoder.
My guess is the quad indicated paper sticker on the album cover came off.
I have one similar but it does have that sticker .

Found this at the thrift store!
I thought it would be QS…is it similar to EV4?

Excellent choice! It's my favourite Quad of hers. I was thrilled to get the Q8 of it a few years ago.

Wait until you hear Every Time He Comes Around, it's simply superb!

QS and EV4 are compatible. So listen and enjoy!

I was so impressed with Barbieri's Chapter One: Latin America, i picked up the next installment!

Gato Barbieri - Chapter Two: Hasta Siempre

 

[Quad Linda]

Don't forget chapters 3 & 4.

Caught Gato live in NYC at the old Iridium when it was downstairs at the Empire Hotel. Hey!!
