“SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH”

(1973 WWA RECORDS – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING!)

ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE, UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE SUPERB FIFTH ALBUM “SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH” BY BLACK SABBATH ON THE WWA LABEL.

THIS IS THE NICEST COPY OF THIS GREAT RECORD I HAVE EVER SEEN - USUALLY THE VINYL HAS BEEN HEAVILY PLAYED - NOT THIS ONE - PRISTINE, GLISTENING VINYL WITH SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO!! THIS GREAT ALBUM IS COMPLETE WITH IT’S LYRIC INNER SLEEVE.

THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT WEAR EVIDENT ON THE FRONT AND THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR DISCOLOURATION TO THE REAR. THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS NEAR PERFECT AS IS THE WIDE SPINE AND THE OTHER EDGES. 

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE LYRIC SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING AND A COUPLE OF SMALL CREASES. THERE IS A NAME INSCRIBED IN ONE CORNER.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) 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. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) 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.

GOOD (G) 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.

THE USE OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-) ALLOWS FOR ITEMS THAT FALL BETWEEN THE ABOVE GRADES.
