schrodinger's vinyl

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.

I took my aunt's weak-ass Peter Frampton LP and sliced it into this tight buzz loop!
If you got any 12"es you don't want anymore, bring 'em over to my place so we can slice them up!
My turntable's needle is fucked to shit! That's the last time I let Miguel slice vinyl on it...

Vinyl philosophy

Those urban/college dudes who read Aristotle and Socrates once and now think they are philosophical geniuses and they probably listen to the Beatles and other artists only on vinyl
