Hi. All
Just want to pass on there is another Japanese Quad Reel tape up for auction on " Jauce Action " site.
The Amazing New Electronic Pop Sound Of Jean Jacques Perrey.
I have this Q4 tape and I thoroughly enjoy this tape just a fun listen to early electronic music.
BBQ....

This was tonight's eBay score. Five tapes I do not have. It's been a while since I'd bought anything so, I made an offer and the fellow was kind enough to accept.
$250 for these tapes is a healthy chunk of change, but in all honesty..... $50 for each of these titles is fair, I guess. This still leaves two more Friends of Distinction tapes I need.
He was also kind enough to ship them to Canada since we're not allowed to cross the border yet.

wow!! some sought after tapes there!!
$250 doesn't feel exorbitant by any means, great score
I didn't know the Papa John Creech was in Quad. There are some great musicians playing on it.
I figured I'd put my unemployment money to good use. 
yeah, its a scarce tape. there was a Japanese CD-4 as well, v.rare.
Calling Michael Dutton............oh Michael..........
So are certain Grunt titles like this out side the grasp of the new J.A./S. ownership; was it Rhino that bought those???
This is what I remembered seeing... ???

ooohhhhhh veerrrrrrrrryyyyyy niiiiiiiiice!!!!
i'd love to see if they really are discrete diagonals on LITM (as you know, that is one scarce tape!!!!) when you get it on the computer!
Excellent! Have you had a chance to listen to Sunfighter yet? I'd love to hear that one. How cool...

Yep! The first track kicks off with the drum roll in front left/rear right and the horn parts in front right/rear left.
There's a cool moment in the middle of "Bittersweet" where everything trails off except the bass guitar, suspended in 'quad center' between front left and rear right.
It's a really interesting mix - the instruments tend to change places pretty frequently. Most of the songs have the bass guitar diagonally imaged between the front left and rear right. Some also have the drum kit spread in stereo diagonally. In "TSOP", the drums are panned across the fronts with keyboards/rhythm guitar in rear left and strings in rear right. The reprise of "Zach's Fanfare" has the drums in mono(!), isolated in the right front channel.
Man that sucks; I’d like to hear your take on all of these!Not yet. They're still in transit. Had them shipped to Canada as we can't cross the border yet for another month!
Q-Eight, some killer titles there. I bought all the Airplane/Starship related Quads. I have all the US CD-4's. All others I have on Q8. I also bought all of them on CD, most of the Airplane/Starship Gold CD's & all SACD's.
Musically, I like the Papa John the best. Then, the Tuna. BYW: they wanted to name themselves Hot Shit. For some reason, RCA nixed that.
Quad mixes are in keeping with other Grunt titles. There is nothing out of the ordinary about the Quad mixes. Not a bad thing, since they're pretty discrete. 9 for the mixes. 8/9 for most of performances. There are a couple things in Sunfighter that I love musically. Others have never hit me. I'd rate it 6/7 for the music. I also owned LP and own the CD. One of my seldom listened to albums.
Tuna Q8 Quad mix perhaps a bit less active Quad mix. There are less people. Musically, it is one of my fave Tuna albums.
All very worthwhile additions to your collection!
I can't comment on the Friends Q8's. Never heard them. I do have a promo CD-4 of their Greatest. Also own the Golden Classics CD on Collectables. Grazin' in the Grass CD-4 is a track I've played hundreds of times. The rest of the CD-4 and CD are among my least played. Love or Let Me Be Lonely is another of their tracks I like.
Sidebar: Jessica Cleaves joined Earth, Wind & Fire for Last Days & Time and Head to the Sky. I'd Rather Have You on Last Days (2ch only) might be her best performance. Head is one of my most played Q8's and is made better on Quad SACD.
