Lyle Mays S/T (Quiex, Masterdisk, Wakefield)
Original 1986 Geffen Records U.S. pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE vinyl and mastered at Masterdisk (in dead wax run-outs). Wakefield Manufacturing pressing (in dead wax run-outs).
Vinyl has a slight shelf warp that does not affect play holding grade back from NM, otherwise excellent. Labels are excellent. Cover has a hint of cornerwear/edgewear and a ding at the bottom right corner just holding grade back from NM.
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!
