I was running KPM Studios at 21 Denmark Street - EMI Music Publishing -
and mixed quite a few UHJ albums while I was there. They're in the
Ambisonic Discography under KPM Music:

Ambisonics wasn't an official policy: we used Ambisonics in the mixing
process just as you would use any piece of outboard studio equipment
like a reverb unit or signal processor - no need for official
endorsement and no chance of it!
The idea that you had to get record companies to endorse Ambisonics (or
any surround system) was a complete waste of time IMO and I never
bothered with it. What I wanted to do was to get engineers and producers
to use it - a) to give listeners in stereo a more impressive experience,
and b) to provide surround listening for those who took the plunge with
decoders at home. However, that's such an old story... I'm sure I talk
about it on http://ambisonic.net/ somewhere!
Oh BTW Eero, talking of the Discography, Frank Perry ultimately released
all his Mountain Bell Music albums on CD (they were originally cassette
only).
Best,

So, EMI used 45J? I thought they were solidly SQ until the end of the 70's.
