Joe Satriani Dreaming #11 (Quiex)
RARE ORIGINAL 1988 AUDIOPHILE QUIEX VIRGIN VINYL PRESSING! Amazing sound. Quiex records were pressed in the 1980s to compete with those new CD things for sound sound quality. Mostly passed on to radio (when LPs were still king), some Quiex copies made it to the public. This is one of those!
Translucent vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs just holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent. Cover has light cornerwear, light edgewear, faint ringwear, and writing inside sleeve in black pen.
Four track EP with Three live cuts from 1988. Songs: Crush of Love (studio), Ice Nine (live), Memories (live), Hordes of Locusts (live).
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.
