Cathedral Of Tears S/T (Quiex)
Original 1984 FIRST pressing on Enigma Records. Pressed on translucent AUDIOPHILE, QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL. Vinyl has a few very light surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels have a touch of wear/spindle marks. Cover has heavy cornerwear, heavy edgewear, spidering around the edges, a long crease upper left corner, a saw-cut upper left spine-edge, and ringwear/hazing.
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.
