Johnny Copeland Copeland Special (Quiex, Masterdisk BK)
Original 1981 Rounder Records AUDIOPHILE pressing mastered at Masterdisk by Bill Kipper (MASTERDISK BK in dead wax run-outs) and pressed on translucent QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL.
Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs/hazing just holding grade back, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Cover has cornerwear/edgewear, light spidering around the edges, and light 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.
