Quadio Box Set

The Doobie Brothers celebrate 2 major milestones this year as the band marks its 50th anniversary and its induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in November. The 50th Anniversary Tour that was also planned for this year has been rescheduled for 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. This will be the 1st time that principal band members Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald, Pat Simmons and John McFee have toured together in more than 25 years.

Before the band is welcomed into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Rhino Records will release a new boxed set that highlights some of the music that helped make the Doobie Brothers one of the most popular bands of its generation. "The Doobie Brothers : Quadio" will feature quadraphonic mixes of "Toulouse Street", "The Captain & Me", "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits", and "Stampede". The 4 BluRay audio discs come in replicas of the original vinyl record sleeves and are all packaged together in a clamshell box.

For this collection, all 4 albums have been mastered using the original 4 track quad mixes. The set includes both the quadraphonic and high resolution stereo mixes for each album. To enjoy the quadraphonic mix as intended, the BluRay audio discs should be played using surround sound.
