Laurie Anderson Mister Heartbreak (Quiex, Shrink, Inner)
Original 1984 Warner Bros. AUDIOPHILE pressing on QUIEX VINYL complete with INNER SLEEVE and cover still in the SHRINK-WRAP! Pressed at Allied Record Company and mastered by Howie Weinberg at Masterdisk (MASTERDISK HW in dead wax run-outs).
Vinyl has numerous light surface sleeve scuffs/scratches just holding grade back from NM-, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Original lyric inner sleeve has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear and smushed/bent bottom corners. Cover in the original shrink-wrap is NM and excellent with a touch of cornerwear and a tiny bump bottom right corner. Shrink-wrap split at the right side of the top and bottom edges and sticker on the shrink top right corner of front cover.
Album features William S. Burroughs, Adrian Belew, Peter Garbriel, Nile Rodgers, Bill Laswell (also producer), Sang Won Park, Antor Fier and many others.
Songs: 1. Sharkey's Day, 2. Langue D'Amour, 3. Gravity's Angel, 4. Kokoku, 5. Excellent Birds, 6. Blue Lagoon, 7. Sharkey's Night
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!
