Description

BLACK SABBATH

 

Debut album. Heavy rock 1st UK Pressing.

 

VO6 / 8479 03 VTY

 

1Y  / 2Y   Stampers 1  /   1

 

Vertigo Black & White swirl release. Labels show only  a light spindle trace. Lightly played with the flash residue still visible around central hole. Near mint minus condition.

 

Opens to soft raindrops and a solitary bell toll…… A clap of thunder launches the listener into a roar of electric guitar bashes and thunderous percussion beats through excellent audio channels. Bass tones are conveyed with a vibrant vigour , only experienced on these earliest pressings. Gives the listener a trip of a lifetime. Slight static heard at the beginning of first track from both sides in the quieter moments, but quite insignificant as music is heard for the most part, through  clear channels, delivering the heavy rock stomps in sensational style. Some light static detection during some of the more tranquil musical moments, though there is not much of that. Awesome guitar riffs, some of the best rock ballads ever produced, these wider channels accommodating in breath taking fashion.

 

Vinyl surfaces lightly played and appear near perfect under ordinary light conditions. If angled, a few wispy hairlines can be detected where the sleeve has brushed the surface. NO scratches or unsightly blemishes to report. A magnificent specimen of a major rock classic.

 

Complete with the original black and white inner sleeve-very special indeed as it bears the original date of release, printed in ink on  bottom edge.-1 MAY 1970 !!!! Please see pics to confirm that this is a genuine FIRST press in every sense of the word.

 

Album sleeve

Again the genuine article, displaying lyrics INSIDE the inverted cross. This trade mark authenticates THE earliest first issue of this remarkable album.Wear on lower edges. Spine square and solid, clearly showing title.Gatefold opens to jet black inner faces, which project the silver inverted cross with incredible clarity. Better than most !Excellent condition.

 

A beautiful album presentation with little to fault. Becoming extremely popular with collectors now and almost impossible to find in this remarkable condition. For the most part, a superb aural delivery with very little surface disturbance. Will not disappoint and is of true investment quality.
