Pete Christlieb Self Portrait (Quiex)
Original 1981 Bosco Records AUDIOPHILE pressing on TRANSLUCENT QUIEX VINYL. Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Original Bosco inner sleeve has seam splitting at bottom/side edges. Lightly textured cover has light cornerwear/edgewear, a light ding bottom right corner, sticker residue top right corner of front cover, and a touch of faint ringwear.
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.
