Not my kind of music fwiw but why Clive Davis didn't select any of his newly signed Mega Artist. Also considered in another article was a big seller on Arista at the time by a record in quad by the BAY CITY ROLLERS. I agree that they were very late to the game. Were there even any Q8 capable players on the market in 1969? None that I'm aware of!īoth FPM and Arista released discs in Early 76 as far as those two articles would infer, but likely had them made in Quadradisc late 1975. (Or was it some sort of sneak preview?) I was under the assumption the actual debut date was in November of '70 with over 100 titles. Interesting you mention RCA releasing Quad in 1969. MCA was going to use the QS system, the boys in the band heard the playback through a decoder and were not happy with the results. MCA had attempted several titles, of which I think the only one particularly well-known was The Who's Quadrophenia. Like really guys? Where were you, in '72? (Which is kinda poignant because if memory serves, Fantasy WAS considering mixing or had mixed other CCR albums previously in and around 1972, but for whatever reason (probably lack of duplication facilities) these never came to be. Kinda like Arista and Fantasy jumping in sometime in 1975. No wonder they had a small a splurt of releases and then nothing. I guess I never noticed the date, but Summer of '74 seems to my mind be quite late to the party. I think Jon posted the actual Capitol Records internal memo about the Quad program.
