Beatles Yesterday and Today (1978 Purple Label RE, Jacksonville)
1978 Capitol reissue on PURPLE labels pressed at Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Jacksonville ('O' etching on side 1 and '0' stamp on side 2 in the dead wax run-outs). Pressed on semi-translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE VINYL!
Vinyl has numerous light surface sleeve scuffs/scratches holding grade down, nothing I can feel though. Labels have wear and many spindle marks. Original purple Capitol inner sleeve has heavy handling wear/wrinkling and smushed/creased corners. Cover has cornerwear, dinged/creased bottom corners, edgewear, heavy wear along spine edge with a split/ripping middle of spine edge, spidering/creasing around the edges (mostly spine edge), ringwear/hazing and a couple small rips at the bottom edge of the rear cover slick.
Songs: Drive My Car, I'm Only Sleeping, Nowhere Man, Dr. Robert, Yesterday, Act Naturally, And Your Bird Can Sing, If I Needed Someone, We Can Work It Out, What Goes On?, Day Tripper
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!
