Sonic Youth Come And Smash Me / Hallowed Be Thy Name (Yellow Lbls, Quiex)
Both songs originally recorded in Wharton Tiers' studio in 1985 and broadcast as part of a John Peel session for BBC Radio 1 on the 19th of May, 1986. 1990 FIRST pressing with blank YELLOW labels. Translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL has a couple light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Blank YELLOW labels are excellent. Fold-over sleeve has heavy cornerwear/edgewear, heavy wear along top edge, and light waviness/moiture damage all-over.
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.
