If you’re not familiar with Quiex, it's like this: As CDs began coming on the scene in the 1980s, record companies started pressing Quiex II LPs for primarily for radio stations. The idea was to show that vinyl was still king and sounded as good--or better--than CDs. MOST Quiex pressings were marked as Quiex that were shipped to radio. But 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 brown Audiophile beauty IS one of those pressings." />
Zoetrope A Life Of Crime (Quiex, Inner)
Original 1987 Combat FIRST pressing on TRANSLUCENT (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE virgin vinyl! Die-cut cover complete with inner sleeve.
Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Original inner sleeve has light cornerwear/edgewear, a small "crack" (not quite split) center of bottom edge, and ringwear/hazing. Die-cut cover has cornerwear, light edgewear, a touch of spidering around the edges, faint ringwear, and a blue price sticker near top left corner of back cover.
