My Audio Fidelity quad suggestions

I have suggested 2 quad SACDs (of course not confirmed yet but suggested) for the AF treatment Charlie Rich's Behind Closed Doors and Elvis Presley's Aloha From Hawaii. I know a lot of you would love these titles.

 

I am hoping for Aerosmith and Santana titles.

 

Write to Marshall suggesting these titles. www.surrounddiscography.com can guide you with these titles. http://www.surrounddiscography.com/ BTW, the old CD issue of Santana's Lotus and the old Best of B.B. King MCA CD was sourced using the quad master and when you play it on a quad system, it supposedly decodes to quad.

 

The 4.0 series for Aerosmith if licensable can be from picked from these titles:
Get Your Wings. Columbia PCQ-32847 (SQ),CAQ-32847 (Q8)
Rocks. Columbia PCQ-34165 (SQ), CAQ-34165 (Q8)

I also added Jim Croce's Photographs and Memories compilation and of course Sly and The Family Stone's Greatest Hits on Quad SACD.

 

LOTUS would be nice ... but I'm dreaming, I know.

 

I also submitted ideas for Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown and Cold On The Shoulder for the quad series.

 

This is exactly what we are doing. Sure fire sales would be for Santana I, Abraxas, Greatest Hits, Santana III

 

Mountain in Quad! Climbing, Nantucket Sleighride, Flowers of Evil sure would be nice.

 

The Mountain quad catalog: Avalanche. Columbia CQ-33088 (SQ), CAQ-33088 (DQ8) Best. Columbia PCQ-32079 (SQ), CAQ-32079 [previously Windfall 7119-32079H] (Q8), CBS/Sony BLPN-5-WF (SQ) [Japan] * Flowers of Evil. Windfall [2 tape] 7119-5501A/B (Q8) {FOE is basically double stereo} Twin Peaks. CBS/Sony BLP J3-4 WF (SQ) [Japan] {All copies of Twin Peaks should be quad}

Proven sales title would be the Best of Mountain, and Flowers of Evil was released in quad back in the day as well and that would have to be issued after Best Of...

BTW, AF is only interested in multichannel mixes issued previously issued whether Quad or 5.1

 

Also, Henry Mancini's Greatest Hits had been released in quad back in the day.

Best. RCA EPQ1-1128-QF (DQR), PQ8-1128 (Q8) Best Vol. 2. RCA EPQ1-1315-QF (DQR), PQ8-1315 (Q8) * The Concert Sound Of. RCA PQ8-1226 (Q8), APDT-1226 (Q8) [Italy] Country Gentlemen. RCA APD1-0270 (CD4), APT1-0270 (Q8) Hangin' Out. RCA APD1-0672 (CD4), APT1-0672 (Q8) Live In Japan. RCA R4P-5017 (CD4) [Japan] * Mancini Country. RCA PQ8-1552 (Q8), R4P-5025 (CD4) [Japan] Mancini Salutes Sousa. RCA APD1-0013 (CD4), EPQ1-0013-QF (DQR), APT1-0113 (Q8), R4P-5037 (CD4) [Japan] Original Screen Hits. RCA R4P-5066 (CD4) [Japan] Screen Best. RCA R4P-5033 (CD4) [Japan] Six Hours Past Sunset. RCA PQ8-1508 (Q8), RCA R4P-5014 (CD4) [Japan] Symphonic Soul. RCA APD1-1025 (CD4), APT1-1025 (Q8) * Theme from "Z" & Other Film Music. RCA EPQA-4350-QF (DQR), PQ8-1583 (Q8), R4P-5003 (CD4) [Japan], PQ8-1583 (Q8) [Italy] Warm Shade of Ivory. RCA PQ8-1441 (Q8), R4P-5010 (CD4) [Japan]

BTW, I submitted an idea for twofer of Best of Mancini and Best of Mancini Vol. 2

@McLover would love Steely Dan's Can't Buy a Thrill issued in this series.

Marshall will soon about this thread now so he'll be able to see your suggestions right here as I gave him the URL.

 

Ponkine, you have excellent choices that if licensable would be sure fire hits.

 

Here's some good suggestions:

The Beach Boys - Sunflower
The Byrds - Byrdmaniax (which could use a better mix)
John Denver - Poems, Prayers, & Promises
Art Garfunkel - Breakaway
Jefferson Airplane - Volunteers
Paul Kanker & Grace Slick - Sunfighter
Michael Nesmith & The First National Band - "Magnetic South" and "Loose Salute"
Simon & Garfunkel - Bride Over Troubled Water

 

Thanks Brad for starting this thread, all of the suggestions listed by everyone are great. Charlie and Elvis would be wonderful in quad.

 

All of these would be decent sellers.

 

In fact, Aloha From Hawaii is one of the most famous albums originally released in quad ever.

 

We all know that Blood, Sweat & Tears S/T and The Best of Guess Who will be the titles that will launch the 4.0 series.

 

Jefferson Airplane's Worst Of... would also go well in this series, the same with the Best of Carly Simon and Sinatra's My Way.

 

BTW, in the case of Bread's Best of Bread, both volumes had been mixed to Quad but only the first volume was released in quad originally so it would best be a twofer. Gordon Lightfoot's Gord's Gold had also been mixed to Quad but never released.
