Donald Fagen The Nightfly (Quiex II Promo, cover error)
RARE QUIEX II VIRGIN VINYL AUDIOPHILE PROMO-ONLY pressing with RARE COVER COLOR ERROR.
This record was purchased from the woman who actually made the record at the Wakefield pressing plant. She explained that some, few, copies were pressed with Donald Fagen in turquoise rather than dark blue like The Nightfly. These were quickly "disposed of" (meaning employees took them home) and subsequent copies were pressed with the proper colors. FEW, if any, with this color mistake were shipped and are thus VERY RARE, especially the few printed as promos!
Cover contains THREE (3) stickers: PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY, a Quiex II sticker and a Hype Sticker promoting I.G.Y. Rest of the cover is very nice with a touch of cornerwear, light ringwear holding grade down. Vinyl has a couple light surface sleeve scuffs but plays clean throughout. Amazing sound, especially as it was mastered at MASTERDISK by Robert Ludwig, known for his clean, tight sound pushed perfectly to the sonic limits. MASTERDISK RL stamped in the dead wax. Labels are excellent. Inner lyric sleeve is excellent.
