Re: [Quadraphonic Quad] listening to mucho quad vinyl lately
I own a bunch of Enoch Light quad LPs and if you promise not to tell
anyone I said this, they sound fantastic, very very discrete sounding
for vinyl. Very 3D. Wild arrangements, too. EL's arrangement of "What
the world needs now is love sweet love" sounds like everyone in the
band just ate a handfull of goofballs. It totally forgets the
sentiment of the song and pushes the melody and beat to somewhere
3/4's of the way up a 14 foot wall. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
don't know why, just getting into it a lot. Ten Years After, Santana, Kristofferson, Gato Barbieri, Alice Coltrane, and lots of classical, especially those...

Gosh, I've had Queen II since its release and have never listened to it through an SQ decoder until now! I am listening to it as I type. It is incredible! Wait...
Finally got a copy of my fave Chicago album on Quad LP, Chicago VII. That completes the collection too, of all their albums available in Quad. 150 bucks on...
OK, so now I have Queen I on and it is also incredible! It's like listening to these albums for the first time! Spacious and so much presence in the guitars...
I know what you are experiencing. And I am very glad. Indeed, glad you checked out Queen 1, as well, since that album does really matrix out nicely. If pressed...
Gentlmen, This is all great to hear. I have a question regarding Queen I and Queen II. Do you know if those LPs can be recorded to DTS and maintain the quad...
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...
In answer to the question of other stereo albums that sound good in quad, you kind of have to just try them and see if there were enough phase relationship ...
Excellent suggetions, including the forum. As a general rule, well made 60's albums, and anything with lots of percussion or electronics seems to do well....
heh I bet all those 'ping-pong' lounge albums from the 60s designed to show off stereo would sound pretty weird. Try some Enoch Light albums recorded on 35mm...
