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. ]]> Fri, 08 Apr 2022 19:53:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4355&PID=60642&title=sly-the-family-stonethank-you#60642 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4355&PID=60604&title=sly-the-family-stonethank-you#60604 Author: AdvprosD

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.

I've got the strangest thought...

I wonder if Bob & Vic didn't find the original multi-track,
but actually found the 4-track Quad remix BEFORE the SQ
matrix was applied and made a two-channel mix out of it?

Anybody else feel this was a possibility?

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.

Not exactly. Most (if not all) of the CDs which contain a
stereo version of "Thank You" are remixed closer to the
sound of the SQ Quadraphonic mix (albeit without the SQ
Quad phasing artifacts) as opposed to the sound of the hit
mix.

I know for example, "Sounds of the Seventies: 1970" contains the quad mix, likely taken from vinyl because I can hear some clicks and groove distortion.

I should have listened first so the database needs a
correction. I went back and listened to my copy from
Higher! and I listened to an online copy and both
are MONO. The database lists it as being STEREO.]]> Tue, 07 May 2019 13:45:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4355&PID=51808&title=sly-the-family-stonethank-you#51808 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4355&PID=51807&title=sly-the-family-stonethank-you#51807 Author: eriejwg

I have a question about the stereo version on Higher!
. Is that faithful to the 45 or is that a new stereo
version?]]> Tue, 07 May 2019 13:40:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4355&PID=51807&title=sly-the-family-stonethank-you#51807 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4355&PID=51806&title=sly-the-family-stonethank-you#51806 Author: sriv94

KentT wrote: The 45 more resembles the rechanneled Stereo on Greatest Hits. Both LP and CD versions. The 45 is still the best version of all of them. And was available in mono to the end of the Memory Lane reissue singles. When the GH LP was compiled, Epic couldn't find the Stereo masters for the LP. When the Quad SQ LP was compiled, Sly found the masters at home so they were used.

Anyone think that's worthy of a "45/LP version" difference? My thought would be yes if the original LP has the extra instrumentation while the 45 doesn't.]]> Tue, 07 May 2019 08:46:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4355&PID=51806&title=sly-the-family-stonethank-you#51806
