Default Re: Quadraphonic Lightfoot Albums

Bringing this OLD thread back up because I thought I'd mention that I've not seen any mention here of the unofficial DVD-A copy of the quadraphonic SUNDOWN that was floated around as a torrent file last fall. I got it and it's very good... much better than messing with old noisy quad-8-tracks or problematic quad-CD4-LP equipment. You just need a home theatre player that does surround after you burn the ISO file to a blank DVD, it's encoded into a few different surround formats.

It makes you go through a few steps to get the torrent file I had some trouble myself but figured it out on my second try (first you have to download a "rar" archive, then you need the password to unzip it - it is hidden on the by being black text on black background so you have to highlight it to find it, with that, then you can extract the torrent file.)

To save you from all of this, I changed the extension of the file from .torrent to .txt and it is attached to this post. Download the attachment, rename the extension to .torrent and it should work.

This is the page on that quadraphonic blogspot where this was posted:

http://the-quad-blog.blogspot.com/20...t-sundown.html

edit- also, the quad version of this album seems to be fairly well regarded in the quadraphonic community:

http://www.quadraphonicquad.com/foru...own-CD-4-Q8-QR

Someday maybe COLD ON THE SHOULDER will show up on DVD-A/V as well.

I'd meant to post this a while back but keep getting sidetracked I guess. But posting about a different album on the "cover versions" forum a few minutes ago that's on a different blogspot site, I reminded myself to do mention this as well.
