ABC Command Quadraphonic

Profile:

US label originally named Project 3 label. The Command label went dormant, but at the dawn of the Quadraphonic era, ABC revived the name to affix to their new line of Quadraphonic record albums. The second run, beginning in 1974, coincided with ABC's bringing all of its subsidiary labels under the corporate ABC umbrella, with a unified label design which consisted of a series of concentric circles running from the spindle hole to the outer label edge. The label names (Dot, Dunhill, Peacock, Back Beat etc.) were prefixed with the ABC name to become ABC Dot, ABC Dunhill etc., and the label art itself varied between subsidiary labels only in the color of the concentric circles. At this time, Command Quadraphonic was renamed ABC Command Quadraphonic. Several of the Quad Lps issued by ABC using the Command Quadraphonic name were reissued with the same catalog numbers, but using revised label art and, in some cases, revised cover artwork as well.

    It should be mentioned that all ABC quad LP's were encoded in the Sansui QS/RM matrix.
