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." />
Dweezil Zappa Havin' A Bad Day (Quiex, Insert)
Recorded entirely in digital at Frank Zappa’s home recording studio UMRK (Utility Muffin Research Kitchen). "This album contains no keyboards or synthesizers, also my Dad did not play on ANY of it." Original 1986 Barking Pumpkin Records AUDIOPHILE issue on translucent QUIEX II VIRGIN VINYL, pressed at Allied Record Company (Q logo stamped in dead wax run-outs). Lacquer cut by John Matousek with JM etched in dead wax run-outs.
Translucent QUIEX II vinyl is NM and excellent with a few very faint surface sleeve scuffs, nothing I can feel. "ZAPPA HOTLINE (818)PUMPKIN" in dead wax run-outs on both sides. Labels are excellent. Lyric insert sheet is excellent. Cover is NM and excellent with a hint of cornerwear/edgewear and a hint of faint ringwear near top edge.
