LABEL AND CATALOGUE NUMBER: Vertigo 6360 050: 
YEAR OF RELEASE: 1971: 
COUNTRY OF RELEASE: UK  
CONDITION (VINYL/COVER): F+/VG. Vinyl is clean with a decent sheen and a fair few brushing lines, some hairlines and scuffs. Played all of this tonight on my budget deck. It has an edge warp that causes some background sound in the quietest passages and there are some ticks throughout, mainly on side One.  It plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps.  It could cause a skip on your deck so this is for UK sale only in case it needs to come back to me. Side One has loud, full tracks and it plays through okay, its a decent listen.  On Side Two the warp causes a whooshing sound during the few minutes of "Orchid" (until "Lord Of This World" kicks in) and during "Solitude" until "Into The Void" starts.   Box cover retains decent shape. It has been stored with 2 cut stiffeners inside to preserve the shape.  It is firm and square and has only light edge wear,  light to moderate corner wear and light creasing. There are a couple of areas of laminate lift adjacent to the spine. It has a small graze on the 1st B of "SABBATH" on the front of the box cover. The rear of sleeve is flat and clean.   Clean labels. Check out the photos.  No writing, rips, stickers or sticker tears. 
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER SABBATH/CLASSIC/HARD ROCK LISTINGS IN MY EBAY SHOP. Grading system: I use UK’s “Record Collector” Grading system. I DO PLAY EVERY RECORD I LIST NOW even though its often just quite briefly. Please bear in mind you may get a touch of background sound, even if its just on intros and between the tracks on 40-50 year old vinyl records!! :: MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface mark or deterioration in the sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in the sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: 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: The record has been played so much that the sound has noticibly deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc. I will at times use a + or - to indicate when a record falls between the grades.
 POSTAGE COST INCLUDES TRACKING AND A BOX MAILER.
