A Japan SQ of Byrdmaniax! Being a Byrds completist, I have the SQ, and have had a 2ch LP, CD, & expanded CD. IMHO, sadly it is their worst album and a bore. It's most appropriate that the cover is death masks of all the band members! Too bad it's their only surround title.
Perhaps we'll see AF put out the unreleased 5.1 SACD of 5th Dimension.

Oh! :yikes What a shame it's clearly a road of borrocks..!
I don't know the album (I tried it out on iTunes before I bid for the SQ and liked what I heard enough to proceed..) at least it came in a tasty package

Is that Edgar Winter's White Trash album advertised on the inner sleeve. I knew Byrdmaniax came out in Japan on SQ disc but I never saw the Winter disc.
Yes! The one with Jerry LaCroix on it. I've got my feelers out for a copy now (if one indeed exists)
Amigos - Santana (SQ LP; Israeli pressing).

This is for sure SQ legit, as pointed out in a previous post. It's another quad riot but weaker overall than Space Experience 1, although when it does hit the mark, it really nails it. Having ended up with two of these and having heard them both I think that side B sounds weak in terms of the pressing as it's noisier when compared to side A. Weird.
If you like SE 1 then SE 2 is a no brainer and worth it; if you disliked SE1 then this is likely to send you over the edge.

KOSS - Perspectives QS LP
I don't have the headphones but I did crank this up and it sounded great. The mix is awkward sometimes in terms of transitions between tracks but that's a minor gripe, the list of tracks used is pretty damn good. It's a one off I guess and worth tracking down. At some point I'm going to compare the mixes here to the original versions for those tracks that appear elsewhere as the liner notes state they were mixed specifically for the headphones, I'm pretty sure that the Keith Jarrett track is a different mix as it's more corner discrete versus the originals room-vibe quad feel.

Thanks FREDBLUE
REALLY COOL TO SEE ALL THOSE SONY QUAD SQ discs, some not released elsewhere, such as the EDGAR WINTER-WHITE TRASH/ROADWORK disc.That rarity would be very highly collectable!!!
You're very welcome! Let's keep hunting these SQ discs down! They must be out there somewhere..
Actually, it's Edgar Winter's White Trash feat. Jerry Lacroix that's depicted, not Roadwork. White Trash was mixed for Quad, but I believe it is still unreleased. Coincidentally, I played Roadwork in my convertible a week ago. It has a black cover w/photos. To my knowledge, that title was never mixed or released in Quad.
Sometimes, especially in the early days of Quad, albums were announced, but never released. US Columbia titles that were announced as Quad, but never materialized include Horowitz Plays Scriabin and Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 2. Both would have been a nightmare to mix. Live tracks and early folk songs would have been tough on Vol. 2. Horowitz is a solo piano record.
