I missed this when you posted it a couple of weeks ago.

I certainly hope you don't mean the SUNDOWN and COLD ON THE SHOULDER quadraphonic 4-channel surround mixes are crappy treatments... they certainly are not. They are both quite discrete surround mixes, and I think SUNDOWN is an excellent mix, (some regard it as one of the best 1970s quad albums) and COTS, while not quite as good, is still well done. Far from "crappy out of phase left minus right pseudo-surround"!! Just because it's 4.0 Surround and not 5.1 or more doesn't mean they were poorly done.
