Article: More Quadio is Coming, and it’s Really Cool

[hipstone]

The Rhino "Quadio" series features some outstanding 1970's immersive 4.0 mixes indeed, but what it really comes down to is the album titles, the music, they are albums which we still enjoying listening to.  "Paranoid" is an obvious crown jewel of the first four bunch, but all of the selections here are smartly curaited.  It also does not hurt that they are priced and positioned so that it makes sense to just get and collect them all and be done with it.  It's actually much less expensive than quad LPs and tapes were back in 73/74.

 

It's also worth mentioning that there is a Chicago "Quadio" box set that contains every album for which was given a quadraphonic mix in the 70s including their "Greatest Hits" album, at 9 discs total.  Now out-of-print and now demanding a few c-notes to acquire, I suspect that there will eventually be another limited run of this box set.  If the series continues to be a success, a repress of that set seems a no-brainer.
