A vinyl record that has remained unopened or unplayed for an extended period, leaving its actual condition unknown. The record could be pristine, warped, scratched, or otherwise damaged, but the owner avoids opening it out of fear of discovering its true state—preferring to exist in blissful ignorance.
I still haven’t checked out that rare LP I bought in 2015—total schrodinger's vinyl situation over here.
Every collector has at least one schrodinger's vinyl on their shelf, too scared to find out if it survived years in the attic.
That sealed album is schrodinger’s vinyl; it’s both mint and ruined until you crack it open.
