Description
UP FOR OFFER HERE IS AN EARLY U.S. VINYL PRESSING OF WHAT MOST PEOPLE INTO ROCK MUSIC CONSIDER TO BE THE VERY FIRST HEAVY METAL ROCK MUSIC ALBUM EVER MADE -
BLACK SABBATH'S FIRST ALBUM RELEASE - WARNER BROTHERS 1871 - WITH MATRIX NUMBERS 39728-2 & 39729-3
I WILL FIRST ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THIS COVER JACKET DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF CONDITION FLAWS - AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE POSITIVES FOR THIS GREAT EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE GREATEST EARLY 70'S ERA HARD ROCK ALBUMS.
THE COVER HAS AN APPROX. 3" "CRIMP" OR BEND IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER (AS PICTURED) - YET IT DOES NOT BREAK THE PAPER HARDLY AT ALL - AND DOES NOT SHOW AS AN ISSUE ON THE BACK COVER.
IT ALSO DOES HAVE SOME SPINE CRACKING ALONG THE LOWER HALF OF IT'S SPINE AND 2" OF WEAR ALONG IT'S BOTTOM EDGE IN THAT AREA.
THAT SAID - DESPITE THESE FLAWS - I AM TAKING THE TIME TO LIST THIS RECORD AS I FEEL SOMEONE OUT THERE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT.
NOW THE POSITIVES -
ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK COVER THE COLOR OF THE PRINT OF THIS CLASSIC JACKET ARTWORK IS VIVID, DEEP & DARK ----- THE SHEEN IS STILL THERE AND IT HAS NO RING WEAR ------- (SO NICE I FEEL IT IS MORE THAN SUITABLE TO HAVE IT CUSTOM FRAMED)
AS FAR AS THE VINYL DISC GOES - IT LOOKS TO BE NEAR MINT - DARK OLIVE GREEN LABEL AND ONLY A COUPLE OF FEATHER LIGHT SCRATCHES FROM IT'S ORIGINAL PAPER INNER SLEEVE - IT IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION FOR WAX OVER 40 YEARS OLD!
I STRIVE TO BE HONEST AND ACCURATE WHEN IT COMES TO DESCRIBING THE CONDITION OF THE ITEMS I SELL -
IN PARTICULAR I HAVE FOUND WHEN BUYING OLD RECORDS ON THE WEB - MANY SELLERS DO NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO HOW TO GRADE OR DESCRIBE AN ALBUMS CONDITION - OR AT WORST - JUST PLAIN LIE ABOUT IT
LOOK AT MY TRACK RECORD - WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET WITH ME - NO JUNK OR TRASH VINYL RECORDS EVER SOLD HERE !!!
WRITE ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THIS ITEM, AND,
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
