Ketelbey, Albert W. / Lanchbery, John / Philharmonia Orchestra In A Monastery Garden - Music Of Ketelbey (Quad, Quiex)

Original 1978 Angel Records Quadraphonic pressing on semi-translucent QUIEX VINYL. Vinyl is excellent all-around with the exception of a small piece of the outer dead wax on side 2 that didn't get trimmed and may hit your cartridge through the first several grooves (pictured). Labels are excellent. Original Angel inner sleeve has smushed/creased corners. Cover has cornerwear, edgewear, a slight bend/crease along the bottom edge of the front cover, a small image rip at the top of the front cover and faint ringwear.

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!
