(The selections on this side are excerpts chosen to illustrate specific effects and uses of Quad technique. Only as much of each piece is used as is necessary to illustrate the aspect on display.
This SQ record may also be used, then, as a test record to ensure that newly set-up SQ sound systems are functioning properly when in the home.
With the exception of the sound effects, the music heard here is available on current Columbia SQ records.)
