One thing I get asked every now and then is "When are you going to do a video about Quad". Unfortunately as far as a proper retrospective of the various quad record formats goes, that's still quite some way off. I'm hampered by a severe lack of space in my house to properly set everything up. No doubt this issue was also a barrier to entry for any potential customers back in the early 1970s.

However in this video, with the help of a small temporary set-up, I'm going to be playing what is thought to be the first new quad vinyl record release in over thirty years. I'm sure Tab Patterson, a long time patron and my go-to quad expert, would be able to confirm whether that thirty year claim is accurate. But regardless, it's definitely been quite a while and it's fun to see the vinyl revival creating a knock-on effect resulting in projects like this and last week's VinylVideo.

Next stop, DBX Discs?

(I know there's no chance of that - but one can dream).

As someone fascinated with physical music formats and HiFi oddities - it has been a big honour to receive a copy of the first new Quadraphonic Vinyl release in over thirty years. With this limited edition set there’s no need to go hunting on ebay for a functioning forty plus year old quad decoder as there’s a brand new one included inside the box.
