The Five Du-Tones Shake A Tail Feather (Japan, Quiex, Insert, Obi)
Original 1979 P-Vine Special AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent QUIEX virgin vinyl complete with INSERT sheet and OBI strip.
Vinyl is NM and excellent all-around with a couple very faint sleeve scuffs, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Fold-out insert sheet is excellent. Obi Strip has a small rip at top edge. Cover has heavy cornerwear/dinged corners, light edgewear mostly along bottom edge, ringwear/hazing, and a spot of staining that can be felt near open edge of cover.
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.
