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." />
Yoko Ono Hell In Paradise (Promo 12', Quiex)
1985 Polydor PROMO 12" 45 RPM Single pressed on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL. These promo pressings were pressed by Electrosound Group Midwest as identified by the "016"in small print on the labels (under "STEREO") and by the hand-etched "Emw" in the run-outs. They made of a higher-quality translucent vinyl (hold up to a light and you can see through it) which was common with promo releases and gold promo stamp releases sent out by PolyGram at this time.
Vinyl has a few very light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just barely holding grade back from NM-, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent with the exception of an orange sticker with written initials on Side 1 label. Labels printed with "Promotional Copy Not for Sale." Cover has heavy cornerwear, heavy edgewear, heavy ringwear/hazing, spidering around the edges, and dinged/creased right corners.
