I've been back to this several times with the SM and it is glorious! Great buy and maybe we'll see this on SACD one day?
Full Sail - Loggins and Messina (SQ LP).
Interesting that they stuffed a quad disc inside a stereo jacket on that David Essex SQ Quad album.
Thanks Fredblue, I'll watch for that now.BTW that LOGGINS AND MESSINA-FULL SAIL is one of the better quad mixes as far as I know.

Isn't it a funny thing! Was this something you've ever encountered? I would have thought maybe it had an SQ sticker or something at one time on the sleeve..
Good to hear! Looking forward to hearing Full Sail in Quad one day
Although I've never encountered it, I have heard of it happening.Quite rare though.
I know that some quad discs were inserted in stereo sleeves, but had a quad sticker of sorts attached, but what you have encountered is unique in my opinion, well worth noting for any collector.
Something to watch out for, I'd say.It may be worthwhile to checkout other stereo sleeves of known CBS/COLUMBIA Quad discs.

I will certainly keep an eye peeled now for more Quad discs inserted into stereo sleeves, it's certainly a curious thing. That said, I will probably seek out another Rock On in the correct Quad sleeve in time if/when I can find another affordably priced copy!
Yes! Hopefully AF will give this the Surround SACD treatment, it's a great album.
I sure hope Rough and Ready gets the 4.0 SACD treatment. About a week ago, I played the SQ LP for Joe, who had never heard it. He was blown away by Situation! We saw Jeff Beck w/Brian Wilson and Friends at the Riverside in Downtown Milwaukee. It was the final show of their 2013 tour. Both acts were spectacular!
What's worse is when they stick a stereo record in a quad jacket. That's happened to me, too.
Hey Fred, you will find that Columbia(USA) pressed discs with CBS labels for the UK but shipped them without sleeves, the Brits used locally printed sleeves(stereo only) and put the quad sticker on them. You will notice the sticker has a US number to match the disc, but the sleeve will use the UK number. Don't forget that Columbia and CBS are two different things in the UK.
Yeah, EMI had a Columbia label over here until sometime in the 80s - ish. Around '89/early '90s we started getting Columbia on what were CBS records.
Columbia and CBS were different before Sony Music bought out CBS Records Division. They were already partners in Japan. Prior to that, the Columbia in most of the world was part of EMI. In Japan, Columbia was part of Nippon-Columbia. After the sale of CBS Music to Sony, Sony worked feverishly to get the rights to the Columbia name worldwide.
Columbia was only EMI in Europe. Columbia in Japan was part of the earlier Columbia phonograph company, not the same as Columbia records which merged in the US later. CBS in North America had to do with radio and television but was just a logo in the rest of the world. As for Sony buying Columbia/CBS, that happened well after the quad era and has no bearing on those LP's.
Columbia was EMI in more than Europe. I did mention that Nippon Columbia used the Columbia name in Japan, now using Denon for their record label. But there Columbia/EMI records in Australia and New Zealand as well. EMI also used, up to the purchase of that company by Universal Music, the Electrola, Odeon, Parlophone, and a number of other names as well.
Each of those labels outside of Europe were still to countries under the British Crown at the beginning. You forgot to mention South Africa. This topic is way out of hand and has been hashed out in some detail elsewhere in QQ by our lovely Quad Linda, moderator extraordinaire. And anything that happened after 1980 still has no bearing on the difference in US versus UK quad releases as quad was pretty much done for worldwide by then, which was the original line of discussion here.
There is one more Columbia, Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!:
