Beatles White Album (Quiex, Poster)
The Beatles White Album issued in 1979 with purple Capitol labels pressed on RARE QUIEX AUDIOPHILE. Vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade down, nothing I can feel but may have some light ticks/background noise. Labels have light wear. Original poster insert has handling wear, cornerwear, edgewear, some light stains/scuffs, and a coupe small splits/tears in some of the folds. No major rips, pin holes, tape, etc. Does not include original 4 photos. Gatefold cover has cornerwear, efgewear, heavy ringwear, some brown-ish stains/scuffs, and some spidering around the edges.
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.
