{"product_id":"greatest_hits_quadraphonic_mix","title":"Greatest Hits: Quadraphonic Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreatest Hits: Quadraphonic Mix is a modern LP reissue of The Jackson 5’s original 1971 Greatest Hits compilation, built around a rare quadraphonic mix that was first issued only in Japan in 1975. Sourced from the original four‑channel analog masters in the Motown vault and mastered for vinyl by Alex Abrash, the 2019 reissue presents a stereo fold‑down of those quad mixes, so listeners don’t need special decoders or four‑speaker setups to enjoy the sound. The album collects the core early‑’70s run of Jackson 5 smashes—most drawn from Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5, ABC, Third Album, and Maybe Tomorrow—featuring I Want You Back, ABC, Never Can Say Goodbye, Sugar Daddy, I’ll Be There, Maybe Tomorrow, The Love You Save, Who’s Lovin’ You, Mama’s Pearl, Goin’ Back to Indiana, and I Found That Girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this edition distinctive is the way the quadraphonic mixes alter familiar songs. Several tracks use alternate vocal takes and emphasize instrumentation not heard in the standard single or LP versions, bringing out different guitar lines, keyboard parts, or backing‑vocal balances and giving longtime fans “a true new way to hear” the group’s biggest hits. Classic Motown notes that the original Greatest Hits LP served as a “hit souvenir of Jacksonmania,” capturing an extraordinary 18‑month run of back‑to‑back chart successes; this quad mix reissue revisits that moment but refracts it through the sonic experimentation of ’70s surround sound, now folded into rich stereo. Some collectors warn that “nothing is familiar” if you expect the exact radio versions, but for listeners interested in The Jackson 5’s studio craft, Greatest Hits: Quadraphonic Mix offers a vivid, alternate lens on songs that helped define the group’s legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53718455550266,"sku":"39135","price":36.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-10_at_7.26.53_PM.jpeg?v=1783726105","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/greatest_hits_quadraphonic_mix","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
