QUADRAFILE - Quadraphonic Comparison discs - 4 Systems, 4 Sides, 4 Speakers
In 1976 Hi-Fi News in the UK produced 2 unique discs to demonstrate the 4 different quadraphonic systems that were on offer at that time, SQ,QS,CD-4 & UD-4. Four companies agreed to co-operate to produce 4 identical sides of test and musical material. As well as tracks by the London Symphony Orchestra, violinists Yehudi Menuhin/ Stephane Grappelli there was an extract from Tubular Bells and a special remix of Pink Floyd's 'Money'.
According to Wikipedia only 1000 of these were pressed ,and this copy is hand numbered as 101. Possibly more were made but were scrapped following the decline in interest in quadraphonic disc reproduction.These records are in pristine condition. Some sides have never been played. Included in original cover (slightly scuffed) with insert. They were pressed in Japan by JVC. A true collectors item.
Cost of postage outside UK dependant on service required to ensure safe delivery.
