my apologies, Sir. I didn't mean THAT haha
,,, and, I KNOW HIS NAME.
haha. .. yeah. You don't wanna mess with the Kurgan.... unless you're Christopher Lambert.
How is it that this QUAD possibility was overlooked before?
You guys seem to have things covered better than Queen Productions. most of the time WITHOUT original source material.
(sadly, checking out existing sales of queen 8 tracks the labels seem to vary quite a bit even on same albums)
never heard anything in Quad, though I always heard Sly Stone recorded one and Quadrophenia/Lifehouse were intended but never done

Just found out he sold it along with another 9 Queen titles for $46 Canadian Dollars.
It turns out it was 8EK-75064

shit!
How sad. ...
what confused me was the housing. I knew very little about 8 tracks until this topic came up. the original Quads had a notch/indent on the top left corner. this one did not.
However reviewing auctions it seems to be practice to RESTORE old quad recordings and many are being sold second hand in regular STEREO housings.
How odd.
I'll bet Brian saw your topic and remembered. then he propositioned the collector and talked him down on price.

and I'll bet they're freaking RARE

8EK appears to be a prefix for standard Canadian 8-track.
ah right. Q8 ...
dang. Overlooking things while trying to multitask at work. my apologies. This thing is probably in Japan or at a record executives house.
I'm sure the format was super rare.
Funny. Didn't catch the previous topic "REAL QUEEN FACT? SOMEBODY HAS IT?" regarding the quad release that was supposedly completely shelved.
Maybe it's just misinformation on the part of that author: By sourcing proper materials he'd noted that it was catalogued. But seeing how it'd never come up, Maybe it WAS shelved. (before production)

Dead formats are where all the gems live.
I collect 8 tracks and enjoy fixing them.
