The Damned The Black Album (Quiex 1982 RE, R Lbl)
1982 I.R.S. Silver label reissue with bar code upper right corner of back cover. AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL. Vinyl has a few very light surface sleeve scuffs just barely holding grade back, nothing I can feel. Labels have light spindle marks around spindle holes. Cover has very heavy cornerwear, heavy edgewear, ringwear/hazing, spidering around the edges, sticker residue upper right corner of front cover and upper left corner of back cover, and writing in dark blue marker upper left corner of front cover.
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.
