This is an original release by Elektra Records from 1985.   Media is in PRESTINE NEAR MINT CONDITION. Original colored printed paper sleeve is MINT with no notable bends or splits. Outer sleeve looks EXCELLENT with 3 sharp corners and 1 with a slight bend. General Light wear. Vinyls play through without skips and minimal surface noise.  Record ships in protective plastic outer sleeve and the record ships outside of original outer sleeve to prevent splitting damage during shipping process.     
Grading is as follows (not visual.  I have listened to this record in its entirety):
Media - NM
Inner Sleeve - NM 
Outer Sleeve - EX
I use Goldmine Grading. 
I am not a professional record grader, however an avid collector.  In my personal opinion this record is in Pristine Condition.

GOLDMINE GRADING:
STILL SEALED - Just like it says, Sealed. Presumed mint unless otherwise noted. 
MINT - It should appear to be perfect.  No scuffs or scratches, blotches or strains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect. 
NEAR MINT - Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play.  Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly. 
VERY GOOD PLUS - The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully.  Not too far from perfect.  On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from slinging in and out of sleeve on the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost.  A slight scratch that did not affect the play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors. 
VERY GOOD - Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails.  Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience.  Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring-wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc. 
GOOD - Well played with little luster and significant surface noise.  Despite defects record should still play all the way through without skipping.  Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.
POOR - Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "GOOD" grading should be seen as poor.  Several cover flaws.
