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!" />
Suzanne Vega Solitude Standing (Quiex, DMM, Inner)
Original 1987 AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL with "DMM" and "Precision" etchings in the dead wax run-outs. 'B' printed at the bottom of labels indicates a Electrosound Group Midwest, Inc. pressing.
Vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM-, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Original inner sleeve has a slight bend at the top left corner. Cover has cornerwear, dinged top left and bottom right corners, light edgewear, light spidering/creasing around the edges, and light ringwear/hazing.
