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." />
Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet (Quiex, Sterling, Red Inner)
Original 1986 FIRST issue pressed at RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis ("70" printed on labels). Mastered at Sterling Sound (etched in dead wax run-outs) and pressed on translucent QUIEX audiophile virgin vinyl. Includes original RED printed INNER SLEEVE.
Vinyl has a few very light surface sleeve scuffs just barely holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. RED inner sleeve has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear and splitting at center of bottom and side edge seams. Cover has cornerwear/edgewear, ringwear/hazing, and light spidering around the edges.
