Up for sale is an absolute holy grail for heavy metal collectors: a true 1970 US first-year pressing of Black Sabbath's legendary self-titled debut album (Warner Bros. Records, WS 1871).
This copy has been meticulously preserved for over 50 years and is the definition of a time-capsule piece.
• The Vinyl (Media): Pristine archive-grade condition. Features the original, authentic 1970 Warner Bros. Olive-Green Warner-Seven Arts Center Labels. The vinyl retains its brilliant, mirror gloss and black luster. It had
been carefully handled and played only on high-end equipment.
• The Audio: True 100% pure analog 1970 Stereo mix—massive, heavy, and exactly how this record was meant to be heard.
• The Inner Sleeve: Includes the highly sought-after, original 1970 Warner Bros. "Distinguished Company" promotional inner sleeve fully intact.
• The Jacket: Housed in the original heavy cardboard sleeve. It shows only the minor, honest shelf and edge wear expected of an authentic 50+ year old sleeve, with beautifully preserved, vibrant cover artwork.

I’ll be listing more vinyls and .45s, make sure to keep checking back for more great finds ! :)



All sales are final, no refunds due to rarity and sensitive handling to properly ship necessary of these vinyls- please ask any question , request any pictures, etc , if you’re unsure. I have dealt with a scammer in the past who tried to swap out a rare first edition press, and it wasn’t even the correct artist. Almost laughable, but I digress.
All sales final , these are very hard to find and not easily replaced so once I’ve sold it and shipped it to you, I can’t risk you deciding to listen to it and scratch it then decide you need your money back.

I only do good business and again, no refunds or exchanges of any sort, as once the vinyl leaves my possession I then can’t vouch for what happened to it whilst in your possession, and that will end up with me at a loss- thank you for understanding !

(I will bend over backwards to take any pictures you may request etc - I want you to treasure this album and have it be a great addition to your collection; please don’t be shy. I draw the line at refunds however , as do a lot of sellers nowadays I believe due to a few bad apples :(. Thanks for reading to the end!!)
