1981 CBS/Portrait #R2-38050. CX ENCODED issue....All sides Vinyl NEAR MINT except side 3-VERY GOOD(++). Jacket VERY GOOD(+) frayed area around insert edge. Gold Promo stamp on rear. (see photos).

CX was originally designed by CBS as a noise-reduction technology for vinyl LP records, similar to the earlier dbx system for dbx discs. CX required a special decoder connected to a stereo system, in order to fully reproduce the CX encoded sound on the LP. However, CX-encoded records could also be played without a decoder, with a resulting (claimed acceptable) amount of dynamic range compression. Relatively few hardware decoder boxes were sold.

***Vinyl grading is based on Goldmine's scale (Mint/Sealed, Near Mint , NM- , Very Good++ , VG+ , VG , VG- ; we rarely sell any vinyl below VG- grade). Grades are visual / any Needle Drops - Play Grades are noted/All LPs are US releases & STEREO unless noted….***CHECK OUT OUR OTHER RARE VINYL LISTINGS/CLICK ON STORE LINK ABOVE***
