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!" />
R.E.M. Reckoning (Quiex, Shrink, Inner)
Original 1984 I.R.S. issue on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE quality vinyl. "STERLING" in dead wax run-outs. Complete with cover in original shrink-wrap and printed inner sleeve.
Vinyl has a few light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade back, nothing I can feel though. Labels have a few light spindle marks. Original inner sleeve is excellent with a touch of handling wear. Cover in original shrink-wrap is NM and excellent with a hint of wear along exposed right side edge.
