If you are not familiar with CD-4 vinyl records, here is some information:
"CD-4 stands for Compatible Discrete 4 Channel. This was a true four channel surround sound system for vinyl records. In America, the system was known as the RCA Quadradisc system. The system was launched in the early 1970s in Japan. In September 1971, RCA committed to adopting the JVC system in the USA and made initial releases in May of 1972.
CD-4 (Quadradisc) has the 4th largest discography of commercial quad systems after: Dolby Surround; QS and SQ with titles released on the RCA, A&M, Arista, Project 3, Atlantic and Electra/Asylum labels.
RCA's discography includes classical and country repertoire as well as a disproportionate share of easy listening. The label did eventually release CD-4 discs by mainstream acts, for example; Lou Reed and Nilsson. Nevertheless, light-jazz/ easy-listening repertoire dominates many of the releases on CD-4; aided by Project 3 which was a label devoted to this genre. This bias reflects the somewhat middle-aged demographic of the early-adopters of what was an expensive quadraphonic system. Warner Brothers' Elektra Asylum label released some of the biggest acts encoded in CD-4, including: The Doors; Bread; Joni Mitchell; The Eagles; and Bob Dylan."
