Condition Seal Rating: 9.0 (REWIND Certified) Additional Grading Notes: The grading label notes a "Crease on J-Card," which is a common minor defect for cassettes of this era due to the pressure of the case. Overall: The item is professionally encapsulated in a tamper-proof acrylic case, ensuring the long-term preservation of the seal and the J-card. The 9.0 rating indicates a high-grade specimen with excellent shelf presence. 4. Notes for collectors FIRST EDITION: This is a confirmed First US Pressing, released on the original street date of September 17, 1991. It is not a later reissue or a record club edition. Rarity: Finding factory-sealed copies of this album in high-grade condition is becoming increasingly difficult, as most were opened and played heavily throughout the 1990s. Provenance: The inclusion of the specific 1991 hype sticker and the "Parental Advisory" sticker helps verify its status as an early retail copy. 5.
