On offer here is a very rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Black Sabbath called 'Paranoid' and is a UK ORIGINAL 1st pressing!!!!  This is an ORIGINAL VERTIGO Swirl UK 1st pressing from 1970 and is in GREAT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.

 

     The absolute rarity of this album is not to be underestimated. It hardly ever surfaces nowadays. This is an absolutely gorgeous super heavy slab of early quality VERTIGO vinyl which is in great  condition with just a few hairlines!! This has a lovely deep glossy sheen!! Hauntingly beautiful songcraft!!! Immense quality heavy/prog album that ticks all the right boxes and incredibly hard to find. I have twentyfive years experience in grading. It doesn't get much better than this!!

 

 

You won't easily find this ultra rare LP !!! It is a genuinely very scarce item that will shoot up in price, esp. since Chinese collectors are also starting to get in now. Get it while you still can!

 Sensational sound quality, I have played this through in its entirety and it was a great joy!!! NO skips or jumps. NO clicks or crackle, this is really a stunning heavy glossy jet black vinyl .The audio is fantastic. Inspected under an intense lightsource and angled.

                       

Vinyl: VG++  .  A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL twice over> fantastic audio, a joy to listen to!! This is the true official 1st press.  I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. A few hairlines only, not impacting the great audio. I would say that the audio is actually EX. This vinyl retains its fabulous deep glossy sheen and has clearly been looked after. A top vinyl!! Fantastic songcraft!! I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great prog collection.   Of course NO jumps/clicks/skips etc.

 

Sleeve:  VG+ to EX.  A super gatefold sleeve. Very rare in this fully laminated edition as most were issued in matt card. Both versions were used for the UK 1st press. This laminated one being the harder one to find by a margin of 1:3. there are a couple of underlaminate "mini" creases mainly nearer the spine. The spine is fully legible. The inside gatefold is likewise great with one small name "Kev" in green ballpoint.

Labels: EX. Light spindle marks only.

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!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
