That particular DTS title *is* the original quad mix with just enough
bleed into the center and sub to allow it to be called "5.1".  For the
most part, if the album already had a quad mix, that's what's on the DTS
CD.  If it never had one, they commissioned new 5.1 (or 6.1) mixes from
scratch.

If you *really* want to hear that album, seek out the b**tl*g DVD-A
that some daring person sourced from the original 1/2" EMI quadraphonic
master.  The DVD-A is 24/96 and there's also a Squeezebox-friendly DTS
track on the disc.  It's stunning...much, much more adventurous than the
SACD and, to my ears, much better sounding.
