This clears things up a bit as to why the entire Quad performance did
poorly the first time round.  I regard it as one of their best albums.  I
find that it does need to sink in for full appreciation.

They may have been more highly regarded if this event had not happened.  If
Marty McFly could only go back in time and tell everyone about CD
technology...
