What's the Latest QUAD TAPE Added to Your Pile? Q8, Q4

[Aging quadie]

The World of Harry Partch on Q8. It was in an eBay lot with five stereo classical 8-tracks I could care less about..

Partch is certainly eclectic. I have the SQ album
When I was a teenager the local PBS station ran a special on Partchs music
My mother was in the room and the music really irritated her...

Think DV could get the reissue rights?

i thought the SQ decoded really well through the Surround Master (and its a very discrete mix at times!)

I bought the SQ when it was new, mainly as a curiosity. I heard of Partch, but hadn't actually heard his music. I loved it so much I wrote him a fan letter -- something I seldom did -- and hoped he still had some of his Gate V albums available for sale. But he never replied and died about a month later.

I would love to see DV reissue the quad version -- especially since the Q8 cuts "Barstow" in half! But DV seems totally committed to middle-of-the-road pop. I think Mr. Partch may be too far in left field for the label to consider.

I just got what would have been my 2nd ever prerecorded q8 today: Quincy Jones You've Got It Bad Girl, but THE ENTIRE TAPE WAS RECORDED OVER WITH RADIO!!! Darn Darn Darn.

 

[jefe1]

I sure hope you get your money back furui.

 

[furui_suterioo]

Maybe I'll get the SQ and re-record over it with the Involve or Tate, the label is still in good shape.

Ebay seller has now sent refund, so I still have the shell. Anyone have conversion of the discrete version willing to share me discreetly

Well, I finally got the Japan CD-4 and re-recorded over with JVC 4DD-10 demodulator, sounds surprisingly good. Now the tape can be happy.

Today's mail call. All Facebook scores. The Ventures and the tribute CCR tape were $5. I think I paid $10 for Stand! (but it's SUPER mint).
The Ventures tape suffers a swapped channel; unusual for a Canadian tape. The Sound-Alike tapes I collect just as curios... and I'm trying to collect ALL of Sly Stone's albums on 8-track. BUT, I'm limiting myself to the two and three-latch style cartridges so they (mostly) match.

Got a quad reel to reel tape this week now I just need a quad reel to reel player. I probably won't get one for a while but now I have a quad tape to play if do. Tested the tape on a portable player I have and it sounds great except for only being able to listen to one channel at a time on that player but at least I know the tape is in good shape.



Also I recently got the Whipped Cream & Other Delights quad 8 track. The mix isn't amazing but the music definitely is.

This is one I'll never understand. Why was the SQ album only released in Brazil and the Q8 tape only released in the UK?
