Police Every Breath You Take (The Singles) (Quiex, Shrink, Inner)
Original 1986 Electrosound Group Midwest, Inc. pressing ('Emw' etched in the dead wax run-outs) pressed on translucent (when held to light) QUIEX AUDIOPHILE quality vinyl. Complete with original inner sleeve and cover still in the SHRINK-WRAP! Faint trumped stamped in the dead wax run-outs denotes that the lacquer was cut at A+M Mastering Studios.
Vinyl has numerous faint surface sleeve scuffs/hazing and some light scratches on the last 2 songs (pictured) that may cause background noise, nothing I can feel though. Labels are excellent. Original inner sleeve has seam splitting at the center of the side edges. Cover in the original shrink-wrap has a light ding at the bottom left corner and a tiny bump at the top right corner just holding cover grade back from NM.
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!
