In the UK AM is crap and worse than Mp3 so this is double trouble for us. Stateside a different picture - and intended for cars - so hence why it has been greated os well.

It is a window to wonderful alternate universe, where stereo AM made
it into the mainstream in the '70's, and so did quad. It was an actual
radio broadcast and as I understand it, at least one listener played
the AM stereo through a PLII decoder and listened to it in real time.
Sure it would have been nice if the radio station saved it as
"audiophile", but the fact that they saved it at all is great. To me,
at least, this one is more about the whole experience and not about
sound quality. Imagine if someone had a krinkly cassette tape from
1976 (or so) of an encoded pop radio broadcast. The classic AM DJ
patter adds to the charm and at least it sounds better than the
average battered tape from that era. (my tapes anyway). Being fans of
the way radio used to be, my wife and I laughed out loud for hours and
enjoyed finding the differences in the way the songs were mixed. I
wish they made it a regular feature, at least once a year or so.
I found that I did need the center channel on to hear the DJ properly.
btw I think they chose PLII so that there would be more people able to
decode it, you know, the "average" home theater system. Burn them to
standard audio CDs and plop them on the tray.
Tab P: More please!!!!!! I really should drop a line to Robb and
the station telling them how much I enjoy it.
