Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath
1970 1st UK Pressing – A Philips Record Product credit - Vertigo Swirl.
Matrix
A: V 06 2Y * 1 420 12 8
B: V 06 1Y * 1 420 12 4
Vinyl - VG+
Visually, it has a nice shine and only shows light signs of use and faint hairlines under close inspection. No deep scratches, gouges, marks.
Playback is loud and clear, with no loss of fidelity or power. It does have light surface noise in quieter passages and the very occasional soft tick, but nothing to detract from the overall listening experience.
Cover - EX
The sleeve is in excellent condition, with only minimal corner and edge wear. No writing, staining, rips, seam splits or any other major flaws.
Please note: the gatefold cover reads "copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings", not "copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings" as in the early first pressing covers, so this might be a later print run.
Inner - VG+
Original Vertigo swirl inner sleeve is clean and intact with some age-related yellowing as expected.
Overall, this is a very respectable very early transactional copy of this increasingly hard to find record.
Record has been cleaned with a Pro-ject VC-E vacuum RCM and HumminGuru ultrasonic cleaner. It will be placed in an antistatic inner sleeve and will be packed outside of the cover to prevent seam split in transit.
