Good separation. But some of the arrangements are almost unlistenable. The album is very, very gimmicky.

I believe they were also experimenting with QS as well. Philips, DGG, and Polydor released quad in Japan, mostly in CD-4.

The only quad release from Bell Records before they morphed into Arista and went CD-4. The liner notes even mention the arrangements are a bit unusual.

It was an American release. I don't know if it was every distributed in other countries, but this is definitely a domestic release.

I had seen various pressings at ridiculous prices, then I spotted the German pressing, 47 Euros inc. P&P

I'm noticing an improvement with the SQ Vinyl upgrade.

I'm noticing an improvement with the SQ Vinyl upgrade.

After only a very brief play before its packed away (I'm moving soon) simply stunning.

I tried it out with some round the room things (Chase - "Open Up Wide", Miracles - Footsteps intro to "Spy For Brotherhood", O'Jays - "For The Love Of Money") and they all panned around from speaker to speaker flawlessly.. oh and there's a bit where the girl singers go "Johnnie" and it pans "Johnnie-Johnnie-Johnnie" from front to back in Johnnie Taylor's "Running Out Of Lies", I don't know if its supposed to actually do that in the Quad mix but the effect was very very cool

I'm planning a Quad holiday in October so I can really play the living daylights out of those old SQ records.. so far very impressed..!!!

NICE! Let us know how it sounds please. I have never seen that one. I have been waffling over the other SQ title and the CD4 disc.
