Compared to the 3rd UK press label, in this issue ‘BLACK SABBATH’ it is slightly moved to the right than the wording ‘VERTIGO’. ‘VO6 847 903 VTY’ and below ‘847 903 2Y’ lines are farther from the edge and decentralized. The last line is moved farther to the right than the other two above.
so taken as 2nd UK pressing.
Original Vertigo Swirl inner sleeve is in age related condition and should possibly be replaced.
It is Poly-lined with some yellowing and has a 1 inch central tear on one large swirl side and area of missing swirl on the other side - and sides have split with age - polythene interior bag is fine. See photos.
A rare original 2nd pressing of Black Sabbath’s seminal first album!
