Why did bands like Yes and Led Zeppelin not have Quad releases back in the day?

You can make a thread , but it's always best to check the qq search first !
Just in case a similar thread exists.

And in this case there is.

Yes, I thought there wasn't because of an actually old comment by another member

But I was also told I can't make a new poll being a basic member

Thats Understandable.

No you can't, and neither can I, but you can ask a moderator , and if there is enough interest...then it will happen.

Thats Understandable.

Then I discovered the list with all the polls

There's a lot of titles indeed but I realized many missing as well especially "lossy" DVDs like live concerts and so on

It's clearly difficult to make a list covering EVERYTHING

What I did , when I first started was spend some time , well actually a lot*of time, going through different threads and reading the many posts.

You would be surprised at how much information exists on qq , that answers the many historical quad questions you have.

And even now I will sometimes go through many posts to find specific info regarding something I did not know prior,...and I come from the Quad era .

And even now I notice my thread , (check similar threads below) , almost duplicates doity's.
So somehow I missed it.

*I mean sometimes a whole day or week.

And now again the "classic" question: are we ever seeing any release (physical or not) of their albums in multichannel?

I think the answer to that is over JPs dead body. He doesn't want it, but whoever inherits the estate may want to get a hold of that extra cash. But maybe after a fair share of the audience for it has passed like Jimmy. While LZ remains pretty popular besides us Boomers, not sure how many of the newer fans are interested in surround.

Thanks to Capitol being not much into quad, we skipped some true gems like that:

Actually, many of the Jackie Gleason Orchestra releases were sonically stellar and would have made fantastic quad releases IMO. Unfortunately, original pressings are difficult to find let alone ridiculously expensive!

BTW, Michael, Dutton Vocalion have 3 Jackie Gleason two~fers on RBCD remastered from the original Capitol analogue masters for NOT A LOT OF MONEY!

And AWAY WE GO!
