{Tubular Bells was released in the US as a CD-4 record (Virgin QD13-105)
and at the same time in England as a SQ record (Virgin QV-2001). The
version in the "Boxed" British release is a different SQ mix, and
includes his "original" Sailor's Hornpipe ending which was rejected by
Virgin Records! Also, Ommadawn was released in both the US and England
as an SQ quad, and is also in the "Boxed" set. Hergest Ridge was never
released here in Quad, I've never seen it as a Quad single lp...but it
is SQ in the Boxed set as is the Collaborations lp. I just got the CD
re-issue of "Boxed" last weekend, and though it credits the quad re-mix
the CD notes proclaim "this CD is STEREO". HOWEVER.....I A/B'd the CD's
to the original vinyl through the TATE and found ALL the SO encoding is
intact! It decodes perfectly and exactly as the original vinyl!!!!!!!}

- Pink Floyd - Works. Capitol CDP-7-46478-2 (SQ)
{Only two tracks "Brain Damage" & "Eclipse" from D.S.O.T.M. are Quad}
{In comparing the differences between "Works", the standard CD, the
stereo LP & the Quad LP of D.S.O.T.M., I have noticed that the two
tracks on "Works" are identical to the Quad LP. First I noticed that
the bass was mixed far lower and the rear channels were full of sound.
The stereo version has much more reverb on it and the bass mix is much
louder, the rear channels only contained reverb from the mix.}

- Santana - Lotus. Columbia C2K-46764, SO encoded, double CD.
{This one is absolutely AWESOME. This one was recorded live in Concert
in Japan, nothing fantastic in the rear channels....just a real YOU ARE
THERE quad mix filling the room, and the audience all around you.
For those of us that got hooked on quad thanks to Santana, this release
provides a great counterpoint to what they did in quad. This is a
tough quad to find on vinyl as it was only released in Japan as a quad.
I was astounded when I found that the American CD was obviously made
from the SO masters! Still in release, if you don't find it..ORDER IT!

Maybe Quad
The following CD's have shown up in catalog listings, They have not been
confirmed as Quad releases, but where originally only released in a Quad
matrix format. The easiest way to identify if the Quad encoding remains
intact is to look for the recording information listed as AAD. This
would signify that an analog multi-track tape was mixed down to the
original matrixed 2-channel tape then transferred into the digital CD
format, as opposed to going back to the multi-track and mixing to a
digital 2 channel tape then transferring to CD (ADD).
*Charlie Haden/Liberation Music Orchestra, Impulse IMPD-188 (QSCD)
{originally released as Impulse AS-9183}
*Gato Barbieri/Chapter Three - Viva Emiliano Zapata, Impulse GRD-111
(QSCD) [originally released as Impulse ASD-9279]
*Pharaoh Sanders/Black Unity, Impulse IMP-219 (QS), IMPD-219 (QSCD)
[originally released as Impulse AS-9219]
*Sun Ra/Space Is The Place, Impulse IMPD-249 (QSCD) [originally
released as Blue Thumb BTS-41]
Note that the Pharaoh Sanders is available both as a CD and an LP.
Recently, Impulse has released quite a few LP versions
(see www.impulserecords.com), but so far this is the only one originally
released in QS. Thinking it was the original album, I purchased a copy
of the LP by mail. Nothing on the jacket or record of the new LP
indicates whether it is quad. If you have any additional information,
please pass it on.

Rumors
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA -
- Early ELO (1971-1973). EMI CDS 79 7471 2 (SQ) [UK]
{Only "1'st movement", "Mr Radio", "Nellie takes her bow" & "Whisper in
the night" are listed as from the Quadraphonic mix and might have come
from the U.K. SQ tape.}
JETHRO TULL -
- Aqualung. EMI [U.K.]
{The 25 Ann. edition has one song listed as being Quadraphonic, but is
probably just the Quad mix in stereo}
Definitly NOT Quad
The liner notes inside these CD's might mention that they were made
from the quad tapes. Even though the original Quad album might have
been a matrixed format like SQ, This CD is not Quad and was probably
remixed from the original four channel tape.
- Edger Winter - They Only Come Out at Night. Epic
- Bob Dylan - Desire. Columbia
- Jefferson Airplane CD Box Set. Grunt
- Sly & the Family Stone - Greatest Hits. Epic
{The three songs on the Quad version are the only release with them in
true stereo. The CD versions sound different than the stereo LP as they are
not rechanneled, but they are not Quad and may have been remixed for the
CD. They also sound almost Mono.}
- Barcley James Harvest - Live / Conisuier Collection '74. Polydor
VSOP CD-164. (SQ)
{This title was wrongly listed as a Quad CD release. The confusion
probably came from the fact the BJH did a live BBC show in Quad SQ
(see the radio discography) and folks might of felt that this Polydor
release was from that broadcast.}
