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 😉

I suspect that the manufacturer or LP records sellers in the 60s or earlier sealed some records into inner plastic bags in order to conceal their defects (warps or mold spots, which is the case here). A year ago I came across an LP by Miles Davis (not KOB, a later title) with sealed inner bag. I was about to purchase it - the outer jacket was opened but the record itself was sealed as described).

I didn't purchase it then, but later on, the seller opened it and the record was warped and that warp could not be cured by a vinyl flattening machine.
