THE BEACH BOYS-SURF'S UP(1971)/REPRISE-BROTHER RECORDS(CAN)/RS6453 DYNAQUAD(DY)/ELECTRO VOICE STEREO 4(EV-4) EX++(NM-)/NM+(+)

THIS RECORD IS ENCODED IN THE DYNAQUAD(DY)/ELECTROVOICE STEREO-4(EV-4) FORMAT.**
IT IS VERY EFFECTIVELY DECODED (GIVING BRILLIANT RESULTS!) BY USING THE SQ (Phase Matrix) SETTING ON YOUR EQUIPMENT!

The cover has none to very light surface wear with light edge wear, heavier on the corners, particularly the bottoms. There is a spot of sticker damage at the top slot corner, front
The record, with a few hard to see scuffs/marks, looks and plays very close to brand new, in the 9.5+ range.
I am using a SYSTEMDEK IIX (GRADO GOLD) and a DUAL 505-2 (ORTOFON OM10), both at 1.5G.
This Canadian issue has a two-sided lyric sheet, where the US issue has a 4 page, foldout lyric sheet with a poster on the back.

This album has some very strange moments....listening to it you can hear definite Beatlesque influences or is it the Beatles that have definite Beach Boys(esque?) influences in their music??

**In reference to the above album, I have previously owned the VANGUARD produced album, DYNACO-4 DIMENSIONAL STEREO/DYNAQUAD-DY DEMONSTRATION DISC(SPV-7/1971)
This record conveniently had 2 excerpts, (followed by the complete chorus), of the Hallelujah Chorus (from Handel's Messiah)...the 1st excerpt is in MONO, the 2nd in STEREO and the full chorus is in DYNAQUAD-DY, (4 DIMENSIONAL STEREO)...for excellent comparison!
I listened to these 3 selections in four different quad decoder formats....synthesized QS, QS normal surround, QS hall surround and Matrix(SQ)...to determine both the best setting for the album, and for future reference, since I had never come across a Dynaquad recording before.

My results were:
Matrix(SQ surround)-the rear speakers exploded with sound!...compared to the other three decoder settings.
QS Synthesizer-better than both settings on the QS decoder, but not as good as the Matrix(SQ) setting.
QS(hall surround)-better than normal QS.
QS(normal surround)-the least(worst?) rear speaker definition.

I have also owned a couple of Enoch Light's early Project 3 records in the original EV-4 quad format and I found the quad mix and sound to be much brighter than the same album issued later in the corresponding quad formats of QS or SQ...don't ask me why.
I found that the encoded quad sound is effectively reproduced/enhanced with the SQ decoder....to a lesser degree with the QS decoder.
