You are bidding on the pictured vintage 80s hard rock rap record of "Licensed to Ill" by the Beastie Boys.  I bought this vinyl record when released and then I would record the album to a cassette.  So I may have spun it a couple more times but not much.   I have a smoke free and pet free home but I list the shrink-wrap. Featuring the top 10 hit, "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)", here are the specs for this gatefold record:

Licensed to Ill is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Beastie Boys. It was released on November 15, 1986 by Def Jam and Columbia Records, and became the first rap LP to top the Billboard album chart. It is one of Columbia Records' fastest-selling debut records to date and was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2015 for shipping over ten million copies in the United States.

The full album cover, front to back, features the Beastie Boys' private jet, a 727, crashing head-on into the side of a mountain.
