Art Ensemble Of Chicago The Third Decade (Quiex)
MINT UNPLAYED original 1985 ECM Records AUDIOPHILE PRESSING on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL! Vinyl is MINT, unplayed and excellent all-around including the labels. Cover has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear, a ding/crease near the bottom of the right side edge and a touch of ringwear.
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!
