Quadraphonic reel-to-reel edition of Nilsson’s Nilsson Schmilsson, issued by RCA in 1973 at 7½ ips. Includes all ten tracks such as “Without You,” “Coconut,” and “Jump Into the Fire.” Box and reel labels match the Quadradisc release.

Playback Note:
This is a discrete 4-channel quadraphonic reel. To hear the full quad mix, you’ll need a quad-capable 4-channel deck and system. It will still run on a standard 2-channel machine, but the mix simply folds down to stereo.

Why Collectors Care:
Discrete quad reels were always niche and produced in very limited numbers, which is why they’ve become sought after today. The real magic is in how the mix behaves in quad: acoustic textures separate, guitars and keys slip into their own space, and layered vocals wrap naturally around the listener. It turns the album into a small, immersive environment rather than a flat front-facing mix.
