BLACK SABBATH ''MASTER OF REALITY'' RAREST EVER TO FIND, VERTIGO SWIRL! IT IS BELIEVED THAT JUST A FEW THOUSAND WERE PRESSED ON THIS LABEL ! AND TO TOP THIS OFF ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAVE HEARD!!!! AWESOME (RAREST EVER) BLACK SABBATH 1st UK PRESS BOX COVER!!!! TOP! TOP! AUDIO THROUGHOUT!!! THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO STILL THERE WITH THE INVERTED COLOUR SCHEME AS SHOULD BE FOR THIS TITLE .
Vinyl: VG+ to EX. A splendid vinyl that sounds great all the way through. The vinyl is top class without marks and only some very wispy hairline traces just visible under a strong light source and has a beautiful glossy sheen. Under a strong light paper retraction traces are visible. It is indeed really hard to find early Sabbath vinyl in this great condition. Of course this is the earliest ultra heavy quality vinyl being an original first press. I did play it just to make sure and it was indeed very enjoyable with the disc playing all the way through without any jumps , skips or sticks. Some light background noise can be heard at times, mainly between the tracks on the silent runs. All in all a quality vinyl with fantastic audio indeed! Not very many out there left now ....
Box sleeve: VG+ to EX. Finding this sleeve without any damage is probably nearly impossible. This is definitely one of the better ones although not perfect. "Printed and made by Howards Printers (slough) Ltd." It is of course fully laminated with the embossed lettering to the front. There is light wear mainly to the top edge and corners, a couple of under laminate creases mainly near the edges (I have never yet seen a copy without this). The spine is fully legible. The envelope flap is still fully intact without any tears!! "VO Price Code" to the back. NO writing and NO smudging.
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 30.00. In the UK, if over £100.00 this will be sent special delivery. Please wait for an amended invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
