Tony Unit Rice Manzanita (Quiex)
Original 1979 Rounder AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE VIRGIN VINYL!
Vinyl is NM and excellent on side one while side two has a few faint paper sleeve scuffs/hazing just barely holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Cover has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear, a tiny ding/rip left side of bottom edge and light ringwear/hazing.
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!
