Peter Gabriel S/T (3/Melt) (Quiex, Inner)
This release is the third self-titled Peter Gabriel album, and is thus informally known as both 3 and Melt (due to the cover artwork).
1983 issue on QUIEX AUDIOPHILE virgin vinyl. Translucent vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back from NM-, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Original inner sleeve has light cornerwear, light edgewear, and splitting in the center of bottom edge. Cover has heavy cornerwear, edgewear, ringwear, and hazing.
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.
