I loved these guys growing up. Dion DiMucci was a great singer. I grew up in Newark NJ. this was pretty close to Brooklyn where these guys grew up and sang harmonies on the street corners. I remember singing harmonies on the streets in Newark

After only two hours sleep last night, I’m presently streaming the Eagles on Qobuz. Before that it was the Doors. Perhaps I’ll wake up.
Been hitting that Big Thief like @tjg and keep going back to Angel Olsen and Lana Del Rey’s latest releases. Had a nice drive listening to Jamila Woods’ Legacy! Legacy!
one of the albums Steve Guttenberg recommended in one of his last videos (all time favorite recordings)
second song in I can see why - not bad at all! if you are in the mood for
That’s a masterpiece right there!! Zoolook is (to me) JMJ best album.
The Bifrost 2 is having fun rendering this gem, newly mixed from 16 track tapes. Feels like I dropped into the Boarding House in January of 1973.

Those mid-70’s RCA outlaw albums are the aural equivalent of a fine wine.
I’ve been a little absent lately (recovering from strep), but it has given me a chance to lie down on the couch do some music discovery.
Some Canadian pop-music with gang vocals?
Something that will make you feel like you’re floating (with great bass)?
This is a fun album. It’s the first time I see “360” as the format type. Binaural, I assume. Plays at 48khz.
Columbia records used “360 Sound” as a trademark in the 50’s through early 70s. It’s not binaural. There are a lot of theories about what it really means. Mitch Miller, who produced records for Columbia in addition to having his sing-along TV show, used the 360 Sound label for most of his work. Therefore, some thing that it refers to his high-reverb, sound on sound techniques. However, it’s also on a lot of earlier and later stuff, including Bob Dylan’s Freewheelin’.
If you are into vinyl, Columbia’s labels went from having 6 Columbia “eyes” - 3 on each side of the labels to 2, somewhere in this time period, perhaps coincidentally with going from tube-based systems in mastering to solid states. The 6-eye records have generally better quality.
I love this record, BTW, my Parents have it on vinyl, I have it on CD, and I did see the Quartet do much of this music about 1970.
I thought it was odd, as Tidal has three streaming options (Normal, Hifi, and Master). In this case it listed “360” which I’ve never seen. It also played at 48khz, which was also a first. Tidal usually streams at 44.1khz, 88.2khz, or 96khz according to the DFC.

It’s sounds good, no excess reverb or other audio tricks that I can decipher.
That’s interesting regarding the Columbia label changes. I wonder what their reasoning was.
It is a great album. If you’re a Tidal subscriber I highly recommend this one.
A good album to push and “expose” your cans…
