These had evolved as the result of four competing companies (CBS, Sansui, JVC and Nippon Columbia respectively) pursuing their own quadraphonic systems independently. This, and the incompatibility of the systems were factors in the slow uptake and eventual downfall of quadraphonic recordings. The project was put together by Mike Thorne, then editor of Studio Sound magazine.{{r|Studio-Sound-1977-04}} Able to persuade JVC and CBS via his own contacts, he soon found agreement from Sansui and Nippon Columbia and all four companies agreed to encode a side of the album each. Assembling material was more difficult since compilations spanning record labels were not as commonplace as they eventually became. TracksThe eventual album included a set of single and paired reference sounds, a surround-sound demonstration named "Electronic Footsy" (created in collaboration with engineer Tony Faulkner), a Stéphane Grappelli violin duet and two classical pieces by Mahler and Bartok, the latter being conducted by Pierre Boulez. The album also included Pink Floyd's "Money" and 2 excerpts from Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells.{{r|Fitch-discography}} To ensure consistency in the mastering process, Thorne took possession of the actual master tapes of the Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon, which caused him considerable paranoia to the extent that he hid it inside his piano, reasoning that a burglar was unlikely to steal such a hefty object. ReceptionThe album was released just as quadraphonic sound was on the wane. Only 5,000 numbered copies were pressed and are extremely rare collector's items.{{r|Fitch-discography}} Some collectors have sought out this release as the only example of Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd recordings being presented in the a particular quad format. In 1976, Music Educators Journal described Quadrafile in an article on useful materials for music professionals.{{r|Music-Educators-Journal-1976-11|page=24}} References1. ^{{cite journal | date = November 1976 | title = Professional materials | journal = Music Educators Journal | volume = 63 | number = 3 | pages = 21–26 | language = en | jstor = 3395093| doi = 10.2307/3395093 }} [1][2][3]2. ^{{cite journal | url = http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Studio-Sound/70s/Studio-Sound-1977-04.pdf | date = April 1977 | title = Quadrafile: four way split | journal = Studio Sound and Broadcast Engineering | volume = 19 | number = 4 | pages = 46–50 | language = en | via = American Radio History}} 3. ^{{cite web | url = https://stereosociety.com/20/Quadrafile.shtml | last = Thorne | first = Mike | date = 2001 | title = The production of Quadrafile | website = Stereo Society | language = en | access-date = 2017-10-14 | archive-url = https://www.webcitation.org/6uCSmtFbD | dead-url = no | archive-date = 2017-10-14}} }} 2 : Sound technology|1976 compilation albums |
