Ry Cooder The Slide Area (Quiex, Shrink)
Original 1982 Warner Bros. issue pressed on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE vinyl. Cover has SHRINK-WRAP meticulously taped along the right side edge inside the pocket.
Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back from NM-, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Original clear WB shield logo inner sleeve has 2 bent corners. Cover has shrink-wrap meticulously taped along the right side edge inside the pocket just holding cover grade back from NM.
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!
