Lennon, John / Ono, Yoko Double Fantasy (Quiex, Allied, Inner)
Original 1980 AUDIOPHILE issue on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL. Pressed at Allied Record Company (B-15413/4 in dead wax run-outs) as well as Sterling Sound and Sheffield Lab Matrix stampers in the run-outs.
Vinyl has numerous light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade down, nothing I can feel though. Labels are excellent with one faint spindle mark on side 2. Lyric inner sleeve has light handling wear, a creased top corner, and a 2-3 inch seam split center of bottom edge. Cover with no barcode and Lenono Music logo on back cover has cornerwear, edgewear, heavy wear at bottom right corner, ringwear/hazing, and light spidering/creasing around the edges.
Songs: (Just Like) Starting Over, Every Man has A Woman Who Loves Him, I'm Losing You, I'm Your Angel, Kiss Kiss Kiss, and others.
If you’re not familiar with QUIEX, it's like this: As CDs began coming on the scene in the 1980’s, record companies started pressing “Quiex II” LPs primarily for radio stations. The idea was to show that vinyl was still king and sounded just as good--or better--than CDs. MOST Quiex pressings were marked as Quiex that were shipped to radio. If too many were pressed, they were packaged as regular LPs and those lucky enough to unknowingly buy them were then blessed with clearer sound! This translucent (when held to light) AUDIOPHILE beauty is one of those pressings!
