Stevie Ray Vaughan Live Alive (2xLP, Quiex, Precision)
RARE original 1986 Epic gatefold 2xLP pressed on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE QUALITY VINYL! 'Precision' etching in dead wax run-outs (mastered at Precision Lacquer).
Vinyl (2) is NM and excellent all-around with the exception of a very slight shelf warp at the outer edge of LP1 (sides 1+2) that does not affect play at all. Labels are excellent. Gatefold cover has cornerwear/lightly bumped corners, a touch of edgewear, a hint of faint ringwear and a small spot of sticker residue at the top right corner of front cover.
Songs: Say What!, Texas Flood, Look At Little Sister, Ain't Gone 'N' Give Up On Love, Pride and Joy, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), Change It, Life Without You, and others.
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!
