Beatles Abbey Road (1986 Quiex Allied Rainbow Lbl)
1986 Capitol reissue on black color-band labels pressed by Allied Records on semi-translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE quality vinyl. 'SRC' logo stamp along with 'SP-AR' etching in the dead wax run-outs indicates that the plating/metalwork was done at Specialty Records Corporation but the record itself was actually pressed at Allied Record Company.
Vinyl has a few very faint surface sleeve scuffs just barely holding grade back from NM, nothing I can feel. Labels are excellent with a hint of wear at the spindle holes. Cover has light cornerwear/edgewear, lightly bumped bottom corners, ringwear/hazing and light spidering/creasing around the edges.
Songs: Come Together, Something, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh! Darling, Octopus's Garden, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes The Sun, Because, You Never Give Me Your Money, Sun King, Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End, Her Majesty
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!
