This is a list of recordings on vinyl that were marketed in Asian countries with notations that indicate "4 Channel", "SQ", "QS" and may be Quadraphonic. Status on these being Quadraphonic has not yet been determined due to language barriers and not owning the recordings for testing and evaluation. Titles that list "4 Channel" do not indicate a matrix format or any other info about Quad. Titles that list "SQ" use a different font than usual and make no mention of CBS, the license owner. Titles that list "QS" in most cases do not use the standard font. Because of these differences, there is some doubt that they are indeed Quadraphonic. Titles that list CD-4 that were not pressed in Japan, Korea, Germany, Philippines or the US are not legitimate and can be found on the Counterfeit & Pirate Quadraphonic Recordings Discography. Artists names and album titles may contain errors due to translation therefore record company names and catalog numbers are the best way of tracking these recordings. This list is sorted by record companies and catalog numbers. The record companies listed followed copyright law in most cases and some exist to this day and are members of Music Publishing Associations although a few did publish counterfeit recordings while also printing legitimate ones. This is not a complete list. Information about quadraphonic recordings that are not listed here or corrections to list are greatly appreciated and encouraged. Country of origin is listed for recordings manufactured outside of the United States. Catalog numbers apply only to the country of origin. However, it should not be assumed the recording was only available in that country.
