Black Sabbath

'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'

WWA, UK, 1973

WWA 005

THIS IS the fifth and perhaps most adventurous Black Sabbath studio album. The material is far more diverse than their earlier bludgeon, easing off the heaviousity gass pedal a tad in favour of more texture and more variety. But that's not to say that they wimped out. Tracks such as 'Killing Yourself To Live', 'A National Acrobat', 'Sabra Cadabra' and the title track all pay a healthy disrespect for restraint and subtlety. A truly great album and perhaps the only Sabbath album still constantly revealing itself after all these years.

This copy is the first issue silver WWA label logo which was quickly superceeded by the second issue with the white WWA logo. These are tough to find and even harder in such nice condition. The cover is fabulous with the correct no black border 1st pressing on the inside of the gate fold and no printer credit on the rear panel.

This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.

Pressing: WWA, UK, 1973

Vinyl: Nice clean condition. A few extremely faint paper scuffs, faint spindle marks on labels but very little other signs of use. One mark on the track 'Who Are You' but barely audible. Grades as Ex

Cover: Only minor signs of handling. Issued in a beautifully illustrated gatefold cover - retains great form and shape. Sharp corners, no dings, no bends, no ring wear, no split seams and no creases. Rear panel is slightly discoloured - just a hint of storage wear. Grades as Ex

Inserts: None
