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." />
Whitney Houston S/T (Quiex, TML, Shrink)
Original 1985 AUDIOPHILE, FIRST pressing on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL, still in original SHRINKWRAP with RARE HYPE STICKER. "I" stamped in dead wax run-outs denotes a RCA Records Pressing Plant, Indianapolis pressing. Mastered at The Mastering Lab with "TML-S" stamped in dead wax run-outs.
Vinyl is NM and excellent all-around. Labels are excellent. Original purple Arista inner sleeve is excellent. Cover in shrinkwrap has RARE Hype sticker; light cornerwear keeps grade conservatively down..
