Winston) Burning Spear (Rodney The Fittest Of The Fittest (Quiex)

Original 1983 Heartbeat Records issue pressed on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE VINYL and cut by Bill Kipper at Masterdisk ('MASTERDISK BK' in dead wax run-outs).
Vinyl has numerous light paper sleeve scuffs holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Labels have a touch of wear at the spindle holes. Cover has cornerwear/lightly bumped corners, light edgewear, light ringwear/hazing and a hint of spidering/creasing around the edges.

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!
