Condition Tape: Presumed MINT (unplayed) Case: Factory-sealed, never opened Notes for collectors This is a highly sought-after original US factory-sealed cassette of the world’s most famous album. Finding copies in this "deadstock" condition is increasingly rare, as most were opened and played throughout the 1980s. This particular edition features the QET 38112 catalog number on the spine, consistent with early Epic Records releases. The presence of the original shrink-wrap with the distinct fold patterns is a vital detail for those looking to preserve music history in its original retail state.
