What Would You Do with a Sealed, 1st Press Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"?


This LP is still sealed in the original clear plastic inner sleeve (just one tiny 1/8" circular spot of mold on one track).  The LP cover has clearly seen shelf life making it say VG.   I am curious about what would you do please?  Open and play or sell to buy other records or?  All thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated - thank you 😉

My mono "Kind of Blue" has that limp plastic inner liner as you described.  What you have is an original release.  If the side 2 track listing had been incorrectly inverted, that would make it an early pressing in the run before they corrected the jacket (mine is that way).  

I have no idea of the collector value of a record with an unbroken inner seal, but, if you are concerned with mold, it might make sense to open the record and clean it thoroughly.  Columbia was a big label that put out a large number of records for each release, so the original "Kind of Blue" is not extremely rare.
