    Judging from what the record liner said, yes, the Bermuda triangle was
recorded in "Quad".  Dolby surround should decode this.  According to the
instructions, you need to put the center channel above you, thus forming the
pyramid.

    My two favs were Snowflakes and the Planets.  Those are the only two I have
on CD.  Well, I have two copies of Snowflakes, a regular one, and one in Dolby
Surround.  I still have all of my vinyls.  Most of them are low mileage as I
would tape them and play the tape.
