fIREHOSE Ragin', Full-On (Pink Lbl 1st Press, Quiex)
Original 1986 FIRST pressing on Pink SST labels pressed on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL. Band features Mike Watt from Minutemen. Vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Labels have light spindle marks. Cover has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear and a touch of faint 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.
