RARE 1973 QUADRAPHONIC ORIGINAL 4 CHANNEL
DIFFERENT SONG MIXES!!!
Chicago TRANSIT Authority
USA - (((QUADRAPHONIC))) - QUAL 33256 Columbia
RARE... SCARCE 1973 "QUADRAPHONIC" with different song mixes from the 'regular' known 1969 release...
The 1973 Quadraphonic original issue uses a then, specially designed SQ decoder permiting the a 4 channel sound separation (as opposed to the regular 2 channel) when playback is through the quad system or even surround sound receiver, resulting in completely different song mixes that can be detected even on the 'normal' stereo system. The record company changed around the song mixes (sounding like things were added) to enhance the quadraphonic 4-channel listening experience....
Hear the alternate song mixings to: Chicago TRANSIT Authority
The Chicago Transit Authority was the very first album by the Chicago-based (then) underground rock band who would later be known as the mass popular "Chicago." And don't confuse the two bands...this, the first line up of the band features a phenomenal guitarist in Terry Kath who really unleashes brilliant fuzz solos all throughout the 4 sides. This first album was recorded and released in April of 1969.
Upon the band's 1967 inception, they were initially called "The Missing Links". Then changed its name to "The Big Thing" (occasionally performed in areas outside Chicago and Milwaukee as "The Big Sounds" due to some venues complaining about the double entendre that the name "The Big Thing" also alluded to), before adopting the moniker The Chicago Transit Authority
... Yes their first and their best, one of the most powerful jazz-rock statements made. When 'Free Form Guitar' cracked a mention in a popular psych book, so one would most certainly have to give this epic jazz-rock monster a listen. It starts out decent enough...six tracks of a sort of throbbing, upliftin' hybrid of rock music that would come to help spawn many bands alike. Their long "I'm A Man" jams like crazy, fuzzed out leads and heavy percussions...the FM Underground stations LOVED this version... Then, you guessed it, 'Free Form Guitar'. Seven minutes of squealing, searing, acid-drenched guitar feedback from hell. It's hard to believe that it was made only two years after White Light/White Heat and eons before Keiji Haino's guitar spazzouts. If we'd heard this thing back in 1969 you'd make like Speed, Glue & Shinki and form a radical psychedelic musical collective aspiring to make sub-FFG freakouts. It's that good.
