Devo Freedom Of Choice (Quiex, Shrink, Inner, Jacksonville)

Original 1980 Warner Bros. issue on translucent QUIEX AUDIOPHILE vinyl! Complete with printed inner sleeve and cover still in shrink-wrap. '0' in dead wax run-outs denotes a Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Jacksonville pressing.
Vinyl has a few very faint paper sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Side 2 label has a few faint spindle marks. Original inner sleeve has light handling wear, a touch of cornerwear/edgewear, a creased top corner, and seam splitting center of bottom edge. Cover in original shrink-wrap is NM and excellent with the lightest hint of cornerwear/edgewear. Price sticker top left corner of front cover on shrink-wrap.
Songs: Girl U Want, It's Not Right, Whip It, Snowball, Ton O' Luv, Freedom of Choice, Gates of Steel, Cold War, Don't You Know, That's Pep, Mr. B's Ballroom, Planet Earth.

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.
