Steve Reich The Desert Music (Quiex, Masterdisk)
1985 Masterdisk RL (Robert Ludwig) 1st Pressing on QUIEX virgin vinyl. Translucent black QUIEX virgin vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back, nothing I can feel. MASTERDISK RL stamped in dead wax. Labels are excellent. Gatefold cover has cornerwear, edgewear, ringwear, and a hole punch upper right corner.
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.
