Not just a string orchestra but plenty of very nice acoustic guitar (Spanish/Latin style playing), a very fast paced 'bright' album
Love the Quad sound promotional material on the rear of the cover ...
"The sound you are about to be completely surrounded by and over powered by is like standing in a valley surrounded by huge towering mountain peaks!"
101 STRINGS - The Soul Of Spain Volume 3
Astor Records
Cat# QS-1
SPECIAL QUAD NOTES:
Encoded using the Electro-Voice Stereo-4 process to achieve 4 channel quad sound and in fact this was the first quad encoding system used on vinyl records and it wasn't widely used anyway - the EV Stereo-4 encoded vinyl is now quite hard to find. This Quad system was heavily promoted by Radioshack USA in their retail stores but the format eventually lost out in favour of the SQ system introduced later by Columbia/CBS Records.
1971 (ish) the original stereo version was released in 1971 but it is unknown when the quadraphonic version was released
Australian release
Gatefold cover is in good condition, no tears, no seam splits and no writing.
New inner plastic sleeve
I no longer have any quad gear so my listening tests were performed on 2 channel stereo equipment so I was not surrounded by "hugh towering mountain peaks' but instead two average sized hills to my right and left!
The vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see a couple of very light ~ light scratches on either side. Just looking at your vinyl is not good enough so I then played the ENTIRE album, every single track, and there are no significant issues with surface noise or click/pops.
New outer protective sleeve
Tracks: Ritual Fire Dance, Andaluza, Medley: La Boda De Luis Alonzo (El Baile/La Boda/Zapateado), Novillero, Ante El Escorial, Las Gaditanas, Fiesta Flamenca, Cordoba
