This record is  labeled as “used” because it has been opened from its shrink-wrap and sleeved. This record has never been played. I am grading it NM (Near Mint) based on a visual examination of the record. It has not been play-tested. When buying, the record will be sent in a protective inner and outer sleeve (you can see the inner sleeve in the photos). Please take a look at the photos to see the quality of the record sleeve and disk condition.
