Talk:Abraxas (album)

Title
I know of no attribution for the title to be derived from Hesse; a search of "Abraxas", even in WikiP, shows several possibilities. Google is worse (quelle surprise!). Does anyone have a verifiable source for this? --Rodhullandemu 01:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The inverse of the album cover itself has the quote written on it, including the attribution to Hermann Hesse.PaZuZu 20:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what "the inverse" is, but can you add that to the article so the quote is somewhat sourced? Is this quote on all releases of the album, or from some bonus burgers edition? / edg ☺ ★ 21:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Its on the OBVERSE (back) of the album, with full accreditation to Hesse. Its on at least the original vinyl release. What we don't know is whether Hesse was using the term precisely as the Gnostics did, or was, alternately, riffing on the word. I'll fix the article accordingly.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:13, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Versions
In the early 70s, there was a bitchin' quadrophonic version released on quadrophonic 8 track tapes that played on the Sansui quadrophonic stereo system. Listening to this album in a room surrounded by 4 speakers, each speaker playing a different track, was an amazing experience. [Dan Collison]
