Prince Around The World In A Day by Prince Mint Vinyl Jacket with Flap & Balloon Boy Sticker on front. Vinyl has high gloss, no scratches, scuffs, spindle marks, little to no evidence of play. Jacket is overall excellent, flap is intact but has slight tear & creasing along edge. This is a Bernie Grundman master; don't need to say anymore to those that know mastering. I have included below the Discogs specs comments from Discogs users that own this pressing.

Best pressing of the album by far
Definitely worth a pickup
November 5, 2020
The most startling aspect behind the backstory of
this classic is that much of it was conceived in the midst of the
non-stop hysteria of Purple Rain's mega-success. While it isn't the
total 180 turn from Purple Rain many make it out to be (some similar
psychedelic whims stretched out on World were first sketched out in
parts of Purple Rain), it certainly was as much of a departure work and
gigantic leap forward in terms of Prince's musical development. In terms
of business and hype strategy, Prince indeed took a page from the book
of rock giants from the early 1970s who had reached a plateau of "we did
it because we can" hubris. As he would do again later with 1988's
Lovesexy, he wanted this to stand on its own as an artistic statement to
be experienced from start to finish, without the typical pop marketing
bells-and-whistles. Next to 1999, this stands as one of Prince's pivotal
albums—an idiosyncratic, colorful masterpiece that stands in its own
unique lane. I can't see where Prince's musical trajectory would've been
without it.
This original 1985 Specialty Records pressing
sounds excellent. A great deal of this original pressing goes very
light on the lower frequencies, and there is room for improvement with
tighter bass response. After comparing this pressing to the 2016 Kevin
Gray reissue, I figured that it was intentional for this album to sound
like that, as it has a distinctive AM radio-like sheen to it. Many sonic
layers come to life on this pressing, as well as the Kevin Gaye
reissue. Both pressings almost sound identical, but I give the edge to
this original SR pressing in terms of the overall definition.

How about the sound quality of this Specialty Records Corporation
pressing? Worth it?

It is worth buying this album just for Raspberry
Beret alone, it is a great dance-funk pop track that is certain to have
you boogieing whatever your age and sexuality!!
