question about Issuing the Quad mixes
Issuing the Quad mixes might be very complicated. I am under the impression they are owned by Warner Brothers in the US. Where the stereo masters are owned by UK companies.
The UK companies have not been interested in helping WB out with master tapes for reissues. Or else WB has never bothered to ask (who knows?). I bet WB would want a lot of money to share those Quad mixes if they do in fact own them.
Sometimes people can’t just get along. Have you ever thought about that?
The fact that the majors are hurting really bad, and sitting on some really nice stuff is just plain wrong.
The 2 Gucci Shoes model 1975 set I have that is known as a biscuit recording is full on fidelity, no cassette tape involved. There are supposed to be three shows recorded by the Biscuit in 75. And one of them was for sure leaked, the other two I am not sure about. None of them broadcast on FM. Strange. And it would have been easy enough to edit out Ozzy encourging everyone in the audience to get high. Perhaps just the name Black Sabbath was enough at the time to frighten off advertisers of a syndicated radio show.
