Quadraphonic Discography "PIRATE Recordings"

Quadraphonic Discography Counterfeit & Pirate Recordings
10-4-2024 VERSION 2.4

   This is a list of Counterfeit & Pirate quadraphonic recordings. 
   These recordings were made without the permission of the label or artists
and sold in countries that did not observe international copyrights at the
time they were created. 
   These discs were sometimes made by using the record to create a new 
stamper or simply playing the record, clicks and all, to create the new disc.
Although these discs MIGHT contain the matrix encoding or in the case of CD-4, 
the sub-carrier signal, the quality is poor. In some cases they are not even
quad and just have a label stating QS, SQ, CD-4 or even all three!
   These records should be avoided by most folks unless you are a serious 
collector and have no intention in listening to the disc.
   Counterfeit/Pirate recordings are copies of legitimately released recordings 
and should not be confused with bootlegs that are made from unreleased recordings
such as live concerts.
   This is not a complete list. Information about Pirate recordings that are
not listed here or corrections to list are greatly appreciated and encouraged
in order to help people not to waste their money.
   Country of origin has been listed to help identify where they originated from.

For additions to this list, Please include:

1. Artist
2. Title of album
3. Record label
4. Catalog number
5. Quadraphonic format (QS, SQ, CD4, UMX)
6. Format - LP (vinyl), Q8 (Quad 8-track), QR (Quad Reel to Reel) 
     since catalog numbers change w/format
7. Add a D in front of the tape format code listed above if Dolby
     was used on the tape.
8. Country of origin (U.S., U.K., Finland, etc.) since catalog
   numbers change with country of origin       
9.  Year of release
10. Any comments that might be helpful like who distributes the
   recording and address and phone number if known.
