Description This is the rare Quadraphonic 8-track release of Joni Mitchell’s critically acclaimed 1974 album, Court and Spark. Unlike standard 8-tracks, this Q8 edition features a discrete four-channel mix, providing a unique immersive listening experience that collectors highly prize. 3. Condition Status: Factory Sealed / New Old Stock. Shrink Wrap: Original shrink wrap is intact with some light shelf wear. Defects: There is a "drill hole" (cut-out) in the lower corner of the cartridge/slipcase, indicating this was originally sold as overstock. Extras: Features a vintage $2.98 price sticker on the front. 4. Notes for Collectors This is the First Edition Quadraphonic release. Because this is a Q8 tape, it requires a specific four-channel 8-track player to experience the quadraphonic mix. Sealed examples of 8Q-1001 are virtually non-existent on the market today, making this a cornerstone piece for any Joni Mitchell or high-fidelity media collection. 5.
