Please Read Full Listing Before Purchase - Thanks.

On offer is The Lp - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath By Black Sabbath.

1973 Pressing on the WWA Records Label - ACB 00166 - Matrix ACB166 A2 & ACB166 2Y - The matrix no on Side 1 is machine stamped, on Side 2 the machine stamped matrix no has been cancelled out and a hand etched matrix number has been etched in to replace it.

This issue of the record was only available by mail order only from the audio club of Britain, the record labels have the WWA logo with both the audio club and wwa cat no's printed on them.

The sleeve has the wwa cat number on it, the only difference is it has manufactured and printed in England on the rear of the sleeve with no mention of Howards Printers, also in the middle of the gatefold sleeve the picture goes right to the side edges, later a border was added. 

Track Listing - See Pic 4.

Record Collector's Grading System.

  1. Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

  2. Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

  3. Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

  4. Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc...

  5. Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

  6. Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc.. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

  7. Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
