Quadraphonic 8-Tracks

Post by therowdyman »

Two 4-channel 8-track rips of the Apple Quadraphonic Albums

Expire in 3 days

Walls and Bridges - 8-Track transfer into 4.0 DTS

John's Quadraphonic mix ("for the 20 people that buy Quad" - JL)

Venus and Mars - DTS CD [4.0 DTS]
hxxps://we.tl/t-cXBdDDcNZb

I hope this one is allowed as the DTS-CD has been deleted for over 20 years. This too was from the original 4-Channel mix used for the Apple Q8 8-Track. Complete with the weird 8-Track track listing (because why waste program time?).

All wav files are four channel and not stereo fold-downs. Burn them to a CD and play them on your DVD/BluRay players or just stream them from your media players.

Thanks, maybe it can also be posted as 4-channel WAVs or FLACs.

Foobar 2000 will play these DTS wav tracks just fine - listening to Rockshow as I type this.

Thanks for posting this. Yes, the tracks are DTS encoded so you will need either software like Foobar or VLC with a DTS decoder. Alternatively, they will also decode if you play them through an amplifier with DTS (which all surround sound amps do) or a media player/disc player with onboard DTS decoding.

These are the only Quad Beatles releases I have. I’m still after Band On The Run (missed opportunity from Macca not releasing that this year), Goodnight Vienna, Pussy Cats or the Live And Let Die soundtrack.

The Imagine Quad mix is still in print and the BluRay sound MUCH better than a decoded SQ LP or an 8-Track rip.

Confirmed that Foobar and VLC play the tracks (in stereo of course).

I also see the 1971 original quad mix on the 2018 BluRay, thanks for the reminder.

Five years ago philfree remastered the 8-track into a stereo mix. Somebody else did one in 2011.
