The Turtles The Turtles Greatest Hits (Shrink, Quiex)
1982 Rhino Records AUDIOPHILE compilation pressed on purple-tinted translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL with cover still in the original shrink-wrap. Purple-tinted translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back, nothing I can feel. Labels have light wear. Original Rhino catalog inner sleeve has heavy cornerwear/edgewear and split edges. Cover in original shrink-wrap has cornerwear, light edgewear along right edge, a ding lower left corner, a very light ding lower right corner, and shrink-wrap is torn-away from upper right corner.
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.
