Beatles Rubber Soul (1984 MFSL RE)
1984 MFSL Original Master Recording AUDIOPHILE PRESSING on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX vinyl. Half-Speed Production and Mastering by Original Masteringworks. Specially Plated and Pressed on High Definition Super Vinyl by Victor Company of Japan Ltd.
Vinyl has several faint surface sleeve scuffs/swirls just holding grade back, nothing I can feel. Side 2 label has a couple faint spindle marks. Cover has heavy cornerwear/dinged corners, heavy edgewear, 2-inch seam split center of top edge, ringwear/hazing and a few scratches at top left corner of front cover.
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!
