David Bowie Let's Dance (RCA Club, Inner, Quiex, Masterdisk RL)
1983 RCA Music Service CLUB pressing with R 153730 catalog number on the cover and noted at bottom left corner of back cover. AUDIOPHILE pressing on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX VINYL and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk ('MASTERDISK' in dead wax run-outs and 'RL' on side 2).
Vinyl has numerous light surface sleeve scuffs/hazing holding grade down, nothing I can feel though. Labels have many heavy spindle marks. Original lyric INNER SLEEVE has a touch of cornerwear/edgewear and seam splitting at center of bottom/side edges. Cover has light cornerwear/edgewear, a faint crease at the top left corner, lightly bumped spine edge corners, and light ringwear/hazing.
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!
