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." />
Lee Konitz Subconscious-Lee (1976 Mono, Japan, Audiophile, Quiex)
1976 MONO, AUDIOPHILE reissue of Prestige PRLP 7004 (Mono) titled "Lee Konitz with Tristano, Marsh, and Bauer." AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL manufactured by Victor Musical Industries, Inc. (Japan).
Translucent QUIEX vinyl has a few very light surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Yellow and Black MONO labels are excellent with the exception of a couple faint spindle marks and a ink stamp on Side 2 label. Cover has very light cornerwear/edgewear, wear bottom corners, faint ringwear/hazing, a small sticker upper left corner of front cover, another larger sticker upper right corner of front cover and a hint of moisture staining/wrinkling mostly evident lower left corner of back cover.
