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.

Simple Minds Once Upon A Time (Promo Quiex, Masterdisk, Hype, Inner)
PRMO COPY!! ORIGINAL 1985 QUIEX AUDIOPHILE PRESSING. MASTERDISK RL (Robert Ludwig-mastering guru) stamped in dead wax, indicating a higher quality master for better sound clarity. Yes, sounds amazing! Quiex virgin vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs and sleeve hazing holding grade down, nothing I can feel though. Labels are excellent. Original lyric inner sleeve has light handling wear/ cornerwear and a small split center of bottom edge. Cover with HYPE sticker upper left corner has very light cornerwear and a touch of edgewear. Gold "Loaned For Promotion Only" stamp upper right corner of back cover.
