W.A.S.P. Inside The Electric Circus (Quiex, DMM, Sterling, Shrink, Hype, Insert)
Original 1987 AUDIOPHILE, FIRST pressing on translucent QUIEX virgin vinyl with DMM (Direct Metal Master) and Sterling Sound etched in dead wax run-outs. Complete with fold-out poster insert and cover in original shrink-wrap with hype sticker.
Vinyl is MINT and excellent all-around. This LP comes to us from the original owner and was only PLAYED ONCE to be recorded to cassette. Labels are excellent. Fold-out poster insert is unhung with no tape, pin-holes, rips, tears, etc.; has light handling wear wear. Cover in original shrink-wrap with hype sticker on shrink is excellent with a touch of cornerwear. Shrink-wrap split bottom right edge, torn away from bottom of back cover, and has a sticker upper right corner above hype sticker.
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.
