Bing Crosby Songs Of A Lifetime (Japan LE /400, Obi)
1979 Philips Japan AUDIOPHILE PRESSING on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL. HAND NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION of 400 copies, 289/400 sticker top left corner of back cover! Includes original obi but does not include lyric insert sheet.
Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels have a few light spindle marks. Cover has lightly bumped corners just holding cover grade back from NM. Obi strip is excellent.
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!
