Description

Detailed seller ratings:

Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do not expect something different from the listing.

Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

Vinyl looks like NEW!!! Impossible condition! Looks unplayed with no spindle traces on labels at all, no marks to the vinyl at all, even under direct harsh halogen light there are virtually no light harlines at all!!! Possibley just a couple! Audio is breathtakingly clean, none of the usual chip fryer background crackle. Sounds awesome throughout with virtually no background noise at all in between tracks or on the quiet intros. 'Fluff' and the acoustic intro to 'Spiral Architect' in particular is probably the cleanest I've ever heard and is just beautiful throughout, with only the very merest hint of very faint background crackle (more like what you get from new vinyl...). It really is the best playing copy I've heard of Sabbath's finest hour. Awesome.

OUTER SLEEVE:

Original 1st press gatefold sleeve in almost perfect condition with no visible wear to edges, barely any of the usual rubbing to the black which looks deep and rich. Back is excellent but does have some slight rubbing, could possibly improve with a very careful clean perhaps.... On opening the gatefold is still 'stiff' at the spine and doesn't immediately sit flat (look at the photo). What this means is that the sleeve has barely been opened and not 'forced' open, so it still opens like a new sleeve. Quite incredible. The spine is fantastically square and rigid with perfect lettering. Best I've seen with hardly any of the tiny creases that normally you get along the spine edge. All leading edges are in near perfect condition. The only detrimental aspect to the sleeve is 4 'dents' or scuffs to the bottom corner of the sleeve, they only show up when angled into the light, but again, see the photos for details.

LABELS:

MINT! No spindle traces at all! Stunning condition.

INNER SLEEVE:

Plain white, poly lined.

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
