The "Sounds of the Seventies" version definitely still has the SQ quad encoding intact. Matrixed quad systems like SQ and QS can be reproduced via any two-channel audio source, regardless if it's vinyl, CD, tape, or a stereo radio broadcast.

I count five versions of "Thank You" that have been released on CD:
4:49 Greatest Hits [dreadful fake stereo LP version from Greatest Hits album]
4:50 Higher [mono 45 version]
6:20 Music For The Next Generation [non-hit 1990 extended stereo remix]
4:48 Essential [non-hit 1990 stereo remix by Bob Irwin and Vic Anesini]
4:50 Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 1 1970 [non-hit stereo fold-down from quad mix]
The mono version also appears on Rhino's In Yo' Face Vol. 1 (1993), but the tail of the fade is about 6 beats longer on Higher (after accounting for a small speed difference).
It sounds really good on both discs. Higher is $$$$, while In Yo' Face Vol. 1 is $; if you can live with the shorter length, the Rhino disc might be a good choice for you.

It stands to reason that the other Time-Life clone, "Ultimate Seventies 1970" also has this same 4:50 version as is on Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 1 1970.
I just popped my copy into the PC which identified as Sounds of the Seventies instead of Ultimate Seventies.
This happens a lot with Time-Life Products.

Yes, you're correct. Have this CD, and a Sansui QRX-7500 A
Quad receiver. And 4 Dynaco A 25 loudspeakers. This track
on the CD, decoded correctly in the SQ position. Thanks
for your superb post on this one.
