(According to Discogs) Transitional copy, released in 1973 when Black Sabbath moved on to WWA-records.
This very early WWA issues came in the latest Vertigo spaceship-labeled box style cover with a pink lettering and the misspelled "Sweet Life", rather than the dark purple lettering on the box sleeve.
