Michael Brecker S/T (KM Quiex Audiophile, Inner)
Original 1987 KM AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL. Includes original printed inner sleeve. Features Pat Metheny, Jack Dejohnette, Charlie Haden and Kenny Kirkland.
Vinyl has a slight dish warp that does not affect play and numerous light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade down, nothing I can feel though. Labels have a touch of wear at the spindle holes. Printed inner sleeve has light cornerwear/edgewear, seam split at the middle of one side edge and a small imminent split at the middle of bottom edge. Cover has light cornerwear/edgewear, lightly dinged right side corners, a bend/crease from right side edge to middle of cover, light spidering/creasing around the edges, ringwear/hazing and initials written in pen to the right of tracklist on back cover.
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!
