No Clare Torry non-lexical solo

That's the highlight of the album.

I'd love to hear the quad mix, do I need a quad receiver / amp / stylus?

It's "out there" on a DVD-A, so it plays on a home theater setup.   IIRC, it never had a legitimate release.   If you Google around and can't find it, I can burn you one.

The DVD-A states that it is sourced from the original quad master, not ay 8 track.   It "came out" not long after the band used their current engineer to do the 5.1 SACD.   It is widely speculated that Parsons himself created the leak out of spite, and that very well may be.

Hearing this will make people go buy surround systems.   This and the quad of Nilsson Schmillson are my two favorite surround mixes ever, and both are from the 70s.
