Black inside gatefold with lyrics in the cross 'Ossie Osbourne' misspelt Ossie Osborne' 1st press 2nd issue with 'Warning credits mentioning 'stereo recordings' instead of 'Vertigo recordings'
The debut album BLACK SABBATH, which was recorded in two days in the studio (probably 11-12 November 1969 with. And, seixena cost 600 pounds), and then issued on February 13, 1970, on Friday (!) , after which it took up in the British charts 8th place!!!!!!
Both labels are free of any nasty names or marks!
The matrix and mother stampers.
side a. ''VO=6'' ''1V#2 ''420 1117''
side b. ''VO=6'' ''2V #2 ''420 1117''
The labels.
These feature the Vertigo Space ship labels very few were released with this label variation! Amaizingly I find it hard to see any spidering at all and no spindle ware which indicates that this has barely ever been played at all (very) rare for an album that is 38 years old!
The vinyl.
The vinyl is absolutely superbe on initial visual inspection this looks absolutely awesome Like new in my opinion! and still retains its sheen from new! This vinyl looks unplayed in my opinion! Any marks that could possibly be seen angled in strong light would be sleeve removal only and nothing that would cause any clicks or pops!
The Audio Quality
I have played this track through a couple of times, at very loud volume on a top system! The audio on this pressing is stunning throughout, in my opinion is almost as good as it gets, Importantly I heard (no) loud clicks or pops (no) distortion (no) grooveware and certainly no skips or jumps!,,Even in between tracks there is extreemely minimal noise! Any minor static\crackle or ticks can only really be noticable at very loud volume and in only very quiet isolated places only.Please note some allowences must be made for these Vertigo pressings, slight pressing imperfections that cause some very minor interfearence in isolated places only. This almost plays as new! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING SEPERATION I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl and the 1st by this awesome band ''black sabbath''! Please check my completed listings of records that i have sold of this calaber and you will see that i normally get it right! Audio graded at excellent plus!
Please note! I always make this disclaimer! please allow for the odd very light static crackle\tick certainly not consistant throughout the audio,Please remember this is a genuine 37 year old vinyl that would have been played on a 37 year old system!The cover.
This is the original issue Vertigo gatefold (non) laminated cover with black on the inside opening (only early 1st press later were white) which also has the lyric and track contents in the cross! Please note!! the misspelling of ''Ossie Osbourne''! ''Osborne'' very rare (only early press) This is strong and straight, (no) splits or tares and no nasty names written!, with amaizingly no real rubbing at the edges, any storageware indents are only noticable if scrutinized in my opinion! Strong and striaght superbe spine! This must grade at least excellent plus in my opinion! Extreemely rare to find like this!
The record sleeve.
This is the white polythene lined record sleeve patented and made in england. (please note this is stored seperately from the vinyl!(please look at the photos) There is no tares but becoming fragile with age with a side split begining at one side only and with light general staining\fading\creasing. This is the original!
