Kingdom Come S/T (Quiex, DMM, Sterling)
Original 1988 AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX vinyl with 'Sterling' (Sterling Sound) and 'DMM' (Direct Metal Master) etched in dead wax run-outs. 'SP' in dead wax run-outs and '016' printed on labels denotes a Specialty Records Corporation pressing.
Vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs and a couple faint scratches holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Side 1 label has sticker residue and a tiny rip to the right of spindle hole. Cover has light cornerwear, a touch of edgewear, and writing in pen at top of back cover.
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.
