Quadraphonic Discography
ANTHOLOGY/SAMPLER QUAD 8-TRACKS
10-20-2000 VERSION 1.0

   This is a list of recordings, otherwise known as a Discography,
available at one time using the Quadraphonic surround format.
   This list was created to let owners with 4 Channel 8-Track
players know what was available for playback on 4 Channel
equipment. This is not a list of recordings for sale.
   This list is available to help you find these recordings at
record shops, thrift stores and the like.  
   These recordings will not benifit anyone without a 4 channel
player.
   This is not a complete list. Information about radio 
broadcasts (Old Rolling Stone magazines from the era advertised
Quadraphonic broadcasts) and any media using Quadraphonic sound is 
greatly appreciated and encouraged.
   Country of origin has been listed to help in the search of a 
recording. Catalog numbers apply only to the country of
origin. However, it should not be assumed the recording was
only available in that country.

    For additions to this list, include:
    1. Artist
    2. Title of album
    3. Record label
    4. Catalog number
    5. Quadraphonic format (QS, SQ, CD4, UMX)
    6. Format (LP (vinyl), Q8 (Quad 8-track, QR (quad reel to reel) 
         since catalog numbers change w/format
    7. Add a D in front of the tape format code listed above if Dolby
         was used on the tape.
    8. Country of origin (U.S., U.K, Finland, etc.) since catalog
       numbers change with country of origin       
    9.  Year of release
    10. Any comments that might be helpful like who distributes the
       recording and address and phone number if known.
