Definitive Audiophile pressings

What can I say, I'm a late bloomer. But I like this, it's much more interesting than sitting inside and being afraid all day.
I think I'm going to treat this as a science experiment. What happens when you open a 40 year old sealed record? Maybe I should start a pool on here. Who wants to place gentlemen's wagers on what I'm going to find when I open this sealed Mofi from 1981?
Anyone who wants to enter, tell me what condition you think this thing is going to be in. Will it be a taco? Maybe fused to the inner sleeve? Perhaps the dust from the 40 year old sleeve will have ground down the vinyl into a fine paste? Maybe all of the above? Maybe it'll just contain a 1983 pressing of Herb Alperts Whipped Cream. IT'S FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
First person who gets closest to whatever the horrible horrible truth turns out to be, I'll name my first born after you.

Once you break the seal that fucker is going to slide out and grant you three wishes!

I’m gonna stay positive and say that the record was warped since it was sealed so long…

BUT it will unwarp once it gets within 6 feet of @Mather . It’s like how two negatives make a positive….or something like that

One thing I will say, the baggie is actually a baggie and not cellophane. So it's loose and that might help with any warps. But yes. I'm guessing warped too. But that I can fix.
 
So related question: out of curiosity, did MOFI use their rice paper inners with the advertising stiffener back in 1981?
 
Alright.... Bridge Over Troubled Water. Best pressing besides the Mofi... which from what I've read is very hit and miss in terms of pressing issues/noise...
Thoughts? Anyone have a good pressing of this?
 
Aretha's is the best version .https://www.discogs.com/Aretha-Franklin-Arethas-Greatest-Hits/release/9007937 pretty sure this is cut by Kev .
