Pat Metheny Offramp (Quiex, Shrink, Grammy Sticker)

1982 ECM AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL. Cover still in original SHRINK-WRAP with RARE GRAMMY WINNER STICKER on shrink! Vinyl is NM with a few very light surface sleeve scuffs, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Cover in SHRINK-WRAP with RARE GRAMMY WINNER STICKER is excellent with a hint of cornerwear, the lightest touch of edgewear on right edge, and a small price sticker upper right corner of front cover on shrink.

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.
