Yes, if someone had the same equipment used for transferring a quad LP
to DTS and did the exact same thing with the commercial stereo
releases of Queen I and II all that glorious surround action would be
there. A Tate would be best, but even just using Dolby PL II would
work well, even if it were just doing it software only, like in Adobe
Audition. I'm surprised that no one, to my knowledge, has seen fit to
do this yet. I don't know if the CD releases would work, but I see no
reason why they wouldn't I have been fine with just the original vinyl
through a decoder for many years and saw no need to do it for my own
uses, but it would be a good idea if somebody did.

Sheer Heart Attack sounds OK through a decoder but it does not sound
like a quad mix. You could do an acceptable upmix of it, but it would
not be IMO anywhere near as three dimensional as Queen I and II.

are on the subject of Queen, I'm really curious to know if Sheer Heart
Attack offers quad sound. That is my favorite Queen album, and I like
it in stereo. I imagine I would love it in quad.
