Herb Alpert Rise (Canada only Audiophile, Quiex)
RARE 1979 A&M Audiophile CANADA ONLY pressing on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL. Vinyl is excellent with a few very light surface sleeve scuffs just barely holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent with a couple very faint spindle marks. Cover has very light cornerwear/edgewear, a light ding lower right corner, and very light spidering around the edges.
If you’re not familiar with Quiex, it's like this: As CDs began coming on the scene in the 1980s, record companies started pressing Quiex II lps for primarily for radio stations. The idea was to show that vinyl was still king and sounded as good--or better--than CDs. MOST Quiex pressings were marked as Quiex that were shipped to radio. But 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 brown Audiophile beauty IS one of those pressings.
