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!" />
Paul Simon Graceland (Promo, Quiex, Sterling, DMM, Shrink, Inner)
GOLD STAMP PROMO COPY! Original 1986 AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX vinyl with "STERLING-DMM" (Sterling Sound - Direct Metal Mastering) in the dead wax run-outs. Complete with lyric inner sleeve and cover still in the original shrink-wrap!
Vinyl has numerous light paper sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back, nothing I can feel. Labels have a couple light spindle marks. Lyric inner sleeve has light cornerwear/edgewear and seam splitting at the bottom/side edge seams. Cover in the original shrink-wrap has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear, spine edge is slightly smushed, and a small orange price sticker at the top right corner directly on the front cover.
