Greg Brown 44 and 66 (1984 RE, Quiex)
This 1984 reissue was the first release of 44/66 on Red House Records. Originally released by Rose Alley Records in 1980. Pressed on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE vinyl. Vinyl has numerous faint surface sleeve scuffs/scratches holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Labels are excellent. Cover has heavy cornerwear/dinged corners, slight bends/creases at the top left and bottom right corners, light spidering/creasing around the edges and ringwear/hazing.
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!
