Lyric inner sleeve has light cornerwear/edgewear, seam splitting at the middle of bottom and one side edge and a bent/creased upper corner. Cover has light cornerwear/edgewear, a light bump bottom right corner, a touch of spidering/creasing around the edges and light ringwear.
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!
