Pat Metheny Offramp (Quiex, Insert)
Original 1982 ECM AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL.
Vinyl has an extremely slight shelf warp that does not affect play and a couple very faint surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Cover is NM and excellent with the lightest hint of cornerwear/edgewear and a hint of extremely faint ringwear. Pat Metheny ECM catalog insert sheet is excellent.
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!
