Description

Black Sabbath’s classic first album on the original UK FIRST PRESS Vertigo LARGE SWIRL white label. Catalogue number VO 6 847 903 VTY. The UK FIRST PRESS matrices are VO6 1Y * 1 / VO6 2Y * 1. From the ominous intro of the tolling bell, falling rain and distant thunder, this is the album that defined ‘Heavy Rock’ and later would ignite the whole ‘Metal’ genre. This earliest FIRST UK PRESSING still sounds FANTASTIC today !! Tony Iommi’s detuned, sledgehammer guitar riffs and Ozzy’s doom laden vocals dominate proceedings and announce Sabbath as the undoubted Masters of their Dark Art ! This superb copy still sounds absolutely HUGE and VERY, VERY HEAVY !! Even by todays multitracked standards ! The vinyl is in virtually UNMARKED PRISTINE condition (one mark which does not affect playback in any way) and has a just pressed glossy sheen. The audio quality is amazingly clear and powerful and delivered with absolutely NO DISTORTION !! So much better than on later pressings and weak sounding re-issues on other labels. There are NO CLICKS OR POPS on the whole record and only a FEW SECONDS of barely audible surface crackle in one or two of the quietest passages. This really is one of the best copies I’ve ever heard !! The vinyl has got to grade at least as EXCELLENT+. The Sleeve is in VG condition with just a very little wear to the bottom and corners but a tear to the top right corner where a price sticker has been removed. The spine is almost perfect. An altogether FANTASTIC example of this classic rock album and one that you would be hard pushed to beat !!
