I can't get used to "Warner Records."
I know they had to do it because it is no longer a part of Time Warner, but why not just call it the "Warner Music Group," like it's referred to in the copyright notices on the back cover trays?

The Chicago Quadio box is fantastic, both the sound & packaging, so I imagine this will be great as well. Not sure how much a quad mix will bring out in these albums, whereas those Chicago albums worked really well with the extra channels. Hopefully the price will be reasonable when it's available through retail. How many other artists had multiple titles released in quad that might get this type of box set treatment in the future?

That new logo is absolutely dreadful. I can only imagine how much money was spent "designing" that abomination.

America come to mind as a likely candidate.

This will be an excellent market test of a niche product.
Box set? Check Blu-ray audio? Check Quad mixes? Check
This should have been a niche product about five years back...and should be considered standard today. Blu-ray disc with high rez, full dynamic stereo mix + quad mix if available and if not available then new surround mix if the original tapes still survive and are in good enough condition. If they insist that music cannot sell unless it's LOUD enough, there is more than enough room to put both a "full dynamic master" plus a "shitty brickwalled master" on one Blu-ray disk. Time for the music industry to move into the 21st century instead of going back a hundred years.

Just call it Warner Music Group or even just Warner. Everyone knows who it is.

Quadio is just a portmanteau word combining quadraphonic and stereo, because both types of mixes are included.
These are Blu-ray discs. You need a Blu-ray player to play them.
Both the original quad mixes and stereo mixes are on the Blu-rays. I'm assuming when you put the disk in the player a menu will pop up where you can select which mix you want to listen to. Quad mixes are 4 channel mixes, so you will need a four-speaker setup to listen to those mixes as intended.

I thought it combined quadraphonic and audio. Otherwise it would be "Quadeo".
I should have paid more attention to the spelling of quadio. Can't really figure out why they would combine quadraphonic and audio since quadraphonic implies audio?

I agree, but that's just what I thought. Marketing people aren't always concerned with accuracy so much as something catchy and memorable. (And I am not really disagreeing with you, just throwing my take in there.)

I have a DVD Audio of "The Captain and Me" released in 2001 by Warner Brothers and Rhino. The disc plays 4 ways: Advanced Resolution Surround Sound, Advanced Resolution Stereo, DVD-Video Compatible Dolby Digital Surround Sound, and DTS 5.1 Surround Sound, It is one of the best sounding surround sound albums I own. Really fantastic. It's like listening to a whole new album.

Amazon pre-order links haven't appeared yet, but the general release has been announced for November 6th. (Wait for that because the price will end up better.)

The Rhino store has the release date as 9/04/2020. The pre-order price there is 59.98. So, the general release date isn't until Nov. 6 for Amazon and retailers?
