Dire Straits Love Over Gold (Quiex, Masterdisk BK, Inner)
Original 1982 AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX vinyl mastered by Bill Kipper at Masterdisk ('MASTERDISK' stamped and 'BK' etched in dead wax run-outs).
Vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Labels have a few faint spindle marks. Original lyric inner sleeve has light cornerwear/edgewear, light ringwear and seam splitting at center of bottom and one side edge. Cover has light cornerwear/edgewear, a tiny bump bottom right corner, ringwear/hazing and light spidering/creasing along spine edge.
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!
