Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club 1963 (Quiex Audiophile)
RARE 1985 AUDIOPHILE pressing on TRANSLUCENT (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE vinyl. 1A/1B matrix trail-off in dead wax run-outs.
Vinyl has a few faint surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Cover has touch of cornerwear, a touch of edgewear, hint of ringwear, creasing lower right corner.
If you’re not familiar with QUIEX, it's like this: As CDs began coming on the scene in the 1980’s, record companies started pressing “Quiex II” LPs primarily for radio stations. The idea was to show that vinyl was still king and sounded just as good--or better--than CDs. MOST Quiex pressings were marked as Quiex that were shipped to radio. 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 (when held to light) AUDIOPHILE beauty is one of those pressings!
