2LP on 1SACD | Features Stereo and Quadrophonic Surround Sound | Label: Vocalion # CDSML 8543 Dating from 1974, this 2-on-1 from country rock's most under-appreciated band followed the departure of founder Richie Furay, Poco by this point dominated by Paul Cotton. Both albums - Vocalion has chosen not to put them in chronological order - were filled with a mix of hard-driving rockers and wistful ballads, the best moments belonging to Timothy B Schmit, who would soon leave to join The Eagles. This SACD offers the original quadraphonic mix as well as stereo, and the 4-channel format's spatial oddities are less intrusive than one might imagine. A welcome reissue, especially given the 44-year gap since the quad mix was available.
