Otis Clay The Only Way Is Up (Quiex, Shrink)
1985 Blues R+B Recording FIRST U.S. pressing on translucent QUIEX, AUDIOPHILE vinyl with cover in original SHRINK-WRAP! Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Labels are excellent with a couple spindle marks. Cover in original shrink-wrap is NM and excellent with a touch of cornerwear/edgewear along right edge.
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.
