Are you sure that was released in the Living Stereo series?

The CD seems to be a Fresh Sound reissue from Spain, knowing this label it's not certain that was actually mastered from the original tapes.

Hello.

Finally, I've bought the disc. There are the covers:

Indoor you can read this "Produced for CD by Jordi Pujol (Fresh Sound Records)". And in the back cover "RCA's QUADRADISC- THE COMPATIBLE STEREO/FORU CHANNEL RECORD"

I ignore if is possible to rebuild the surround channels using my SQ decoder, like other CDS.

I think Fresh Sound just used the Living Stereo banner for promotion purposes.

RCA didn't use the Living Stereo brand for QuadraDisc releases.

Concerning your question of recreating the surround channels, even if you had a suitable decoder this is not possible with a CD, as the quad technology RCA used (CD-4) needs frequencies from the 18-45kHz range to code the rear channel signals:

OK, thanks. I thought that it codified using SQ sistem.
