I remember all this stuff, but doubt I ever even heard a CD-4 record back in the day set up on a system to properly decode it; the SQ and QS formats had more market penetration, at least where I was in the NE in the early ’70s, but even those faded pretty quickly-
I gather there are people who like the effect of some of the matrixed (not discrete) mixes for two channel playback, never really bothered, though every once in a while an old record will come across my path where it is claimed to be ’quad mix’ (presumably SQ).
And in addition to the Shibata, CD-4 is what got us that lovely JVC vinyl compound for a while.
