The Classic Vertigo Swirl Centre Labels are in stunning Nr Mint condition with NO Tears, NO Peeling, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind, I can see NO spindle alignment lines at all - not even under very strong light. Except for the play grade, I strongly suspect that this record is unplayed! Impossible for a UK 1st pressing. 

The disc itself is in truly stunning condition!!! It has still has all of its beautiful 'factory pressed' sheen!!! It has No Scratches, No Hairlines, No Paperlines, No Scuffing, NO Marks, NO Groove Wear, NO warping or blemishes of any kind at a!!! Nothing!!! This record is totally Blemish free!!! I cannot even see paperlines!!! This disc is pristine!!! !!! As simple as that!!! This disc looks like it came off the master press yesterday!!! It has the deep shine a newly pressed record!!! This vinyl will knock you dead if you are lucky enough to win this auction. As well as it's visual perfection, it also feels great. You can feel the quality of this thick and chunky UK 1st pressing and weight is amazing - it weighs a ton!! This is well worth pushing the boat out for!

What can I say about this sleeve!!! The classic laminated 1st press box sleeve is the best I have ever seen!!! It is also in SUPERB CONDITION!!! It has NO Tears, NO Scribbles and NO unwanted writing of any kind!!!  It is completely blemish free!!! The sleeve lies perfectly FLAT with NO RING WEAR, a good strong spine and virtually NO corner wear!! Importantly, it has retained ALL of it's box-shape! The laminate is truly stunning and and glistens with no dulling whatsoever!!! As is normal with this sleeve, there is just one or two very small lines of laminate lift along the spine, very minor though, and probably the best you will see for this sleeve. It is a truly stunning example of this sleeve, I cannot remember ever seeing better! It must grade as Excellent+++, however most sellers would grade it as straight Nr Mint! It has been reinforced with purpose designed stiffening inserts - a feature which has preserved it so well after all these years!!! This is how it will come shipped to the lucky winner.

The MEGA RARE 1st press poster is also in superb Nr Mint condition! It folds perfectly flat with bright vibrant colours and absolutely NO creases, rips or tears!!! It has only ever been removed from the inner once or twice before, and then quickly replaced. It has never been on a wall!!! It is as Nr Mint as it is possible to get!!!!  A very, very rare poster!!!

Of course, the LP comes with its ORIGINAL Correct poly-lined windowed Vertigo Swirl inner sleeve (this sleeve is slightly different from the standard black on white swirl inner in that it has a black background with a white swirl!!! - this rare inner was only ever used for this album - which makes it the rarest of all the Vertigo swirl inner sleeves!!!). This sleeve again, is in Near Mint condition!!! It lies perfectly flat, with NO creases, NO unwanted writing or scribbles and NO separation on the inner poly lining!!! Stunning!!! 

Please don't miss this one as you will NEVER have a chance to bid on a better COMPLETE example of this rare Black Sabbath UK Vertigo Press!!! Whoever wins this auction will own what is possibly the most pristine complete copy of this, the rarest UK Black Sabbath LP, left in existence today. I have handled quite a few of these albums in the past, so trust me when I say that this one is seriously worth pushing the boat out for. Due to the price this record will fetch, insurance is very highly recommended with this auction.  Good Luck!!!

Refunds & Feedback ... Please read this carefully ... We try to give you the best quality examples of rare records available. However, there will always be somebody out there whose expectations far exceed UK record collector grading standards.  If you are in anyway unsatisfied with your record or our grading of it please refer to the UK Record Collector Grading Chart very carefully BEFORE emailing us. We strictly adhere to it and will only offer refunds (minus the postage AND our eBay costs) if we are satisfied that we have fallen below UK record collector grading standards. This will very rarely, if ever, happen. We will not be impressed with buyers disputing our gradings without even bothering to check the UK record collector grading standards chart first - you have been warned ...

Buyers who continually Haggle, Whine and Moan to try to decrease the price they won their auctions for will be blocked from bidding on future auctions and can toodle off down to HMV or Virgin where they can harass the counter staff there.

We will always leave feedback upon receipt of feedback. In an ideal world we would like to leave feedback as soon as the record has been shipped but due to feedback blackmail in the past (i,e, ",,,I want a partial refund or I will leave negative feedback") we have opted to take this measure. Contact must be made within 3 days of winning the auction. If payment has not been received after 10 days a non paying bidder alert will be placed. If payment is then not received within 7 days Negative feedback WILL be left and the buyer WILL be given a strike by eBay. Thanks for reading.
