wish you were here-quadraphonic

A quad version did come out when the record was first released (on Columbia's special quad red label, on the SQ quad system). They are generally rare now.

There is a Roio (or bootleg) of the quad mix, which comprised of two CDs - the first consisted of the front two channels, and second completing it by providing the rear two channels. The maker of this tried to pass each disc off as a different stereo mix, but it is indeed the quad mix. One synchs up two CD players to get the quad effect.

Anyway, I can't remember the title of it, and the Pink Floyd Roio Database site seems to be down, so you're out of luck there. Sorry.

I've got a couple of these Quad WYWH's and they're surprisingly easy to get hold of. Go to any record fair and they'll be kicking about... I'm afraid I can't remember what I paid, but they're relatively inexpensive.

There are always quad LPs on Ebay. Though I suggest getting a DTS encoded disc. You'll have to trade for that, though if you are really desperate, there are occasionally someone selling a copy on Ebay.

i've got a bootleg CD copy of the WYWH Quad broadcast on Radio 1 when it was originally released. it's the full album with intro & outro from Alan Freeman. very good quality, even better with headphones on...
can do you a copy if you cover postage costs

It'll sound like stereo. On a stereo.

But I've just bought two new speakers, all set for the quad experience.

Damn!

Actually, I was wondering why a radio station would broadcast a "Quad" mix when they can only send in stereo and indeed our radios can only receive in stereo?
