Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Also, I wonder if the lead singer of Real Life sat at his computer over the weekend and said to himself, "hmmm...I wonder what the word on the street is these days." Does a quick Google search. Stumbles upon IMCT.
Is he happy about the chatter or does it make him sad?

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I remember back when I was 13, like 1975, a friend of a friend had a couple of kids over, this was like 2 blocks from my house, and he had a quadrophonic stereo system. Quadrophonic turntable, 4 nice sized speakers too, and he had a couple of records, one of which was a Bachman-Turner Overdrive album (BTO II) which he played for me and it was awesome, different stuff coming out of 4 speakers, double-stereo, omg that blew me away. Its the only time I encountered that in my life and all I can remember was how cool the sound was. The way it would hit you from 4 sides and merge together.
I am a little out of the loop nowadays with surround sound and stuff, so I guess what i'm talking about is old hat now, but I was wondering if anyone else remembers quadrophonic systems or if anyone ever had one.
What has brought this up in my silly brain is that I am downloading from Usenet of all places, a surround sound 7.1 copy/mix/whatever its called of the Beatles' Let It Be from 2021, its taken from a Blue-Ray it says. The sound that is coming from my 2 speaker non-surround is just amazing, the clarity and definition of the sound is incredible, I can only imagine how it must sound in a top-flight mega-channel system.
There are so many records i'd LOVE to have a quad mix of and be able to use 4 speakers to create that effect. Sounds like heaven to me. lol.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I've never known anyone with a quad system, but I do recall reading that the experience of that made the record biz gunshy over cd's. The industry spent a lot of cash promoting quadrophonic sound, re-releasing records and encouraging people to buy them again, and it bombed (part of this was timing; the oil crisis sparked an economic collapse). So when Sony & Phillips presented digital sound, many execs were reminded of quad and were wary.weller259 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2022, 1:07amI remember back when I was 13, like 1975, a friend of a friend had a couple of kids over, this was like 2 blocks from my house, and he had a quadrophonic stereo system.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I had a similar experience with quad sound.... when I was 11 or 12 . a friend of mines older brother had a quad set up in their den, we used to listen to Black Sabbath Master Of Reality, the coughing at the beginning of "Sweet Leaf" was pretty spacy in quad.weller259 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2022, 1:07amI remember back when I was 13, like 1975, a friend of a friend had a couple of kids over, this was like 2 blocks from my house, and he had a quadrophonic stereo system.

What Doc said makes sense too, I remember seeing quadrophonic records at my local store back then, they had a decent amount of them available at that time. I wish my family would have had the money to get a system, I would still have it if we would have gotten one, lol. After all, I still have 3 large garbage bags filled with all the now-obsolete 8-track tapes I had bought. The quad concept still intrigues me, I must say.
