Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back 1980 Soundtrack LP 2 Record Set Factory sealed and never opened.

Performed by The London Symphony Orchestra. 
Deluxe two record set also includes FULL COLOR BOOKLET that tells the story of "the Empire Strikes Back" in words and pictures.
Cameron Ellison who had been collecting Star Wars since 1977, already had a large collection including over 3,000 carded action figures, when he purchased a huge collection of items from Star Wars and Empire producer, Gary Kurtz, back in 1983. I personally purchased this record from Cameron and it is from the Kurtz collection.  

The holes and the cut corners meant the record was a "cut out." 
All records are fully returnable by the stores, so if the record didn't sell, it was sent back to the record company. Middlemen would come around to the record company and buy all their returned records at a discount price, then put them in stores also at a discount. The record company makes some money on the deal instead of having to dump the records. 
To keep these records from being confused with records that the store could return for credit, a hole was punched or the corner cut off. Sometimes you could find cut-outs of the same albums the record store were selling for full price.

Take a look at the photos and let me know if you have any questions.
