QUIEX: 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 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 and 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 IS one of those pressings." />
Donald Fagen The Nightfly (Quiex, Shrink, Hype)
RARE QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL AUDIOPHILE pressing, still in SHRINKWRAP with Hype Sticker and RARE GRAMMY AWARD STICKER and RARE ERROR COVER!
Vinyl has some light surface sleeve scuffs, nothing I can feel, holding grade down. PLAYS CLEAN! Mastered at MASTERDISK by Robert Ludwig, known for his clean, tight sound pushed perfectly to the sonic limits. MASTERDISK RL stamped in the dead wax. Labels are excellent. Inner lyric sleeve has light handling wear. Cover in original shrinkwrap has hint of cornerwear. Has rare Grammy Nominee Hype Sticker and "standard" Hype Sticker.
Cover also has mixed title colors, printed this way in error. The title and artist name should have been printed in just one color, either dark blue or in turquoise--but not both. These error covers were very limited and once the mistake was discovered, corrected back to single color covers.
