Better Off Dead Better Off Dead OST (Promo, Quiex)
RARE original 1985 GOLD STAMP PROMO AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL! Gold 'Loaned for promotion only' stamp bottom right corner of back cover. 'R' printed at the bottom of the labels denotes a RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis pressing.
Vinyl has a couple light surface sleeve scuffs just barely holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Cover has cornerwear/lightly bumped corners, light edgewear, light spidering/creasing around the edges, top of spine edge is slightly pinched/smushed and light ringwear/hazing.
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!
