Here's some background info: This is a rare, rather uncommon transitional copy of the album. It was released in 1973 when Black Sabbath left the Vertigo label and moved on to WWA-records. The latest Vertigo spaceship-labeled versions came in a box style cover with a pink lettering and the misspelled "Sweet Life", rather than the dark purple lettering on the box sleeve which came with early Vertigo swirl-labeled pressings. When Black Sabbath moved over from Vertigo to WWA, the very first early issues of this album did NOT yet come in the more common flipback sleeve with the WWA-logo on the front (http://www.discogs.com/Black-Sabbath-Master-Of-Reality/release/2332517). Yet, they came with old stock Vertigo box sleeves with the pink lettering and the misspelled "Sweet Life". There is a sticker on the back of the cover with the WWA 008 catalog number, which was stuck over the Vertigo catalog number, above the VO Price code.
