From the Gentle Giant website;

The UK editions of Free Hand and In'terview are being released on CD/DVD on February 27, 2012. These special editions feature a lost quadraphonic mix on the DVD. The special 4.1 Surround Sound mix (DTS 96/24 and Dolby Digital 48kHz/24bit) has been adapted from the original quad mixes and appears on these special editions. The releases also include new sleeve notes written by the band

I love both of these albums. If the quad mix has been done well, I will be ordering these. The last time they remastered a chunk of their catalog, at least one of them used a terrible mix that had to be re-pressed (they replaced the defective discs, so that was nice). Hopefully they have someone with good ears reviewing these masters.

Which one(s) were re-pressed?

About 7 years ago, DRT Entertainment reissued "35th Anniversary" editions of Free Hand, Giant for a Day, In a Glass House, In'terview, Playing the Fool, The Missing Piece and The Power and the Glory. I think it was either In'terview or The Missing Piece that had the wrong mix on the original pressing.
