BLACK SABBATH: 1970 DEBUT RARE UK VERTIGO SPACESHIP NM

ONCE PLAYED, SUPERB COPY, MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE

BLACK SABBATH
Black Sabbath

SCARCE UK VERTIGO (VO 6) 'SPACESHIP' PRESSING OF BLACK SABBATH'S CLASSIC DEBUT IN SUPERB, BARELY PLAYED CONDITION (the labels show only one light spindle trace and the vinyl surfaces are practically unmarked) AND THE AUDIO DELIVERY IS SENSATIONAL THROUGHOUT (please see detailed audio assessment below) - FANTASTIC COPY OF THIS RARE PRESSING

PRESSED ON QUALITY MID-WEIGHT VINYL WITH THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS WITH "MADE IN ENGLAND" CREDIT
MATRICES: VO 6 1Y * 1 420 19 / VO 6 2Y//2 ∇ 420 11 13
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH FOLDED UNDER AND FACTOY SEALED LEFT SIDE EDGE - COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL VERTIGO SWIRL INNER SLEEVE

Track Listing:
SIDE 1: Black Sabbath / The Wizard / Behind The Wall Of Sleep / N.I.B.
SIDE 2: Evil Woman / Sleeping Village / Warning

LABELS: Clean, bright and fresh labels with little signs of use - there is one light spindle trace on Side Two, none on Side One - MINT / NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: The record lies perfectly flat on the turntable and both surfaces retain their original deep, like-new, glossy sheen - NEAR MINT
VINYL Audio: Superb pressing with a crystal clear, deep, rich sound - beautifully recorded and engineered. On playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing) the playback is practically flawless apart from a little surface noise on the run-in to Side One (very minor and before the ominous rain and bells) and a tiny mark (also on Side One) which gives rise to about six little clicks as it is passed over. Otherwise, the playback is sensational. Critically graded as EXCELLENT (Side One, because of minor flaws mentioned but otherwise, pristine) and practically MINT (Side Two) this is an exceptional copy of this rare label variant
SLEEVE: The matt sleeve is crisp, clean and fresh with very little wear (just a touch of corner bumping - please see close-up photo) - EXCELLENT++
and the Vertigo swirl inner bag is clean and unmarked - EXCELLENT

PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I USUALLY TAKE QUITE A FEW SO YOU CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION OF EVERY DETAIL OF THE ITEM
ALL GRADINGS ARE VERY STRICT (PLEASE SEE MY FEEDBACK) SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE BUYING - EVEN THE SLIGHTEST DEFECTS ARE NOTED SO YOU CAN BE 100% CONFIDENT WITH YOUR PURCHASE - I AM AN AVID RECORD COLLECTOR MYSELF SO I KNOW ONLY TOO WELL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED WITH PURCHASES NOT PROPERLY PLAY-GRADED
I HAVE UPLOADED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I CAN BUT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUPPLY ANY ADDITIONAL ONES ON REQUEST
AS WITH ALL MY RECORDS THIS HAS A LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM WRAPRO MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks (GS 6.0.6 (418))
