David Holland Life Cycle (Quiex)
Digital recording November 1982 at Tonstudio Bauer, Ludwigsburg.
Original 1973 ECM Records AUDIOPHILE PRESSING on semi-translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL.
Side 1 has several light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Side 2 is NM and excellent. Labels are excellent. Cover has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear and light ringwear/hazing 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!
