Hey Al, that reminds me of something I'd been meaning to
ask.  One or two of the early BOC records (like, I'm almost
sure Secret Treaties, and maybe one or two others) got
released on vinyl in Quadrophonic, right?  Were those albums
recorded with that kind of thing in mind, or is that just
some funky studio wizardry they performed after the fact?

And has anyone ever actually heard those records played back
in quad?  Heck I've never even laid eyes on actual working
quad system...

I had [maybe still have?] a copy of Tyranny and Mutation in Quad
<8-Track>!! But I just played it on a regular system...
