Description
The list price for LP albums was not $9.98 except in the last year or two that they were commonly made so this pressing likely dates to 1985 or close. As such it is probably the best quality vinyl short of a half speed master or similar. Factory sealed, no cut-outs, no damage to the jacket, very nice. eBay doesn't like my webcam so the image was taken on a scanner, it looks the same as any of the others. The artwork is still paste-on when most were being printed directly on the cardboard so it might have been made earlier, as it is sealed of course I cannot tell you which variation the label is. I haven't seen many sealed copies of any variety being offered lately. The item is flat and clearly has not suffered any warp influence although the shrinkwrap is pretty tight.
To emphasize, the price sticker suggests it is a later pressing from the vinyl era, the paste-on artwork says maybe not and now you have as much information as I do.

Grading of LP record albums:
Mint: Not part of our vocabulary in general, but would refer to a sealed unopened record.
Near Mint: Looks brand new.
Near Mint minus: Perhaps one or two tiny blemishes.
Very Fine plus: Very close to new, appears to have been played possibly two or three times.
Very Fine: Still close to new and only slightly used, a few faint marks or sleeve scratches. Only if the music level is soft is it possible to hear a hint of surface static.
Very Fine minus: Surface blemishes no worse than for VF but a few more of them.
Very Good plus: Light scratches possible but nothing even close to bad.
Very Good: May have a number of light scratches but still nothing bad. Moderate surface static can generally be heard during the music but does not interfere with it. note: Few record albums made in the 50's or 60's actually play any better than VG or VG+ regardless of their appearance.
Very Good minus: The surface noise rivals the music but does not exceed it.
Good plus: No awful scratches but will have a lot of them. Surface noise has overtaken the music.
