D.I. Ancient Artifacts (1989 RE, Quiex)
1989 Triple X Records audiophile reissue on QUIEX virgin vinyl. Translucent Quiex virgin vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade down, nothing I can feel though. Labels have heavy spindle marks. Cover has heavy cornerwear, edgewear, light spidering around the edges, and faint ringwear.
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.
