All this talk about the Quadrophonic version of "Hissing" really stirred up 
my interest in the whole "Quadrphonic" period of rock............Luckily, I 
found out that the company that released "Court" and "Hissing" put it out on 
"Discrete" vinyl, which means that all one needs is a particular record 
stylus and a reciever that will pick up 4 tracks, aka Surround SOund 
capability......
WELL..............Determined I went to a local used record shop and searched 
the hell through the "Audiophile" and "Joni Mitchell" vinyl sections........I 
got Nada..........Well, I decided to be a bad boy and peruse their back up 
retail that lay underneath the record bins...........and...........What do 
you know?  A Quad version of "Hissing" was underneath.....and the asking 
price........ $4.00.
I ran home to play this rare find and about flipped when I heard "The Jungle 
Line".........If you channel the speakers a certain way it pulls out the 
drums!!!!! and what's left is an ACOUSTIC version of the song!!!!!!!!   

It's almost impossible to hear the guitar on the CD because the tracks are 
piled over each other.....the drums drown out the guitar..............Just to 
hear the album on vinyl was amazing!!!!!  it sounds so much richer and 
fuller, her voice sounds amazing!!!!!! (more than usual)

SO..............check your local used-record stores for this jewel, it's 
worth it..............

Phil
