Description

THIS IS THE INCREDIBLY SCARCE & RARE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING OF THE DEBUT BLACK SABBATH ALBUM ON THE SWIRL VERTIGO LABEL WITH THE 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT'  B side LABEL CREDIT. BOUGHT IN FEBRUARY 1970 ON RELEASE AND STORED CAREFULLY SINCE IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE. THIS REALLY IS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE AS A GENUINE UK FIRST PRESSING. 98% OF UK SWIRL PRESSINGS WILL NOT HAVE THE PHILIPS LABEL CREDIT & THIS CREDIT PROVES THIS TO BE THE VERY EARLIEST FIRST PRESSING AVAILABLE. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS COPY IS IN VIRTUALLY 'AS NEW'  PRISTINE CONDITION (BOTH VINYL & COVER).  RECORD V06 847903 VTY WITH 1Y & 2Y SMALL MACHINE PUNCHED MATRICES. BOTH THE A & THE B SIDE OF THIS HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS VINYL ARE IN A BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT CONDITION VERY LIGHTLY PLAYED WITHOUT ANY MARKS, BLEMISHES OR SCRATCHES & RETAINING A FULL LUSTRE SHINE. LIES & SPINS PERFECTLY FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE WITH A LOVELY WARM RICH & DYNAMIC SOUND. IT PLAYS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS, ie WITHOUT VIRTUALLY ANY BACKGROUND SURFACE CRACKLE WHATSOEVER ETC EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS. BRILLIANT SOUND SEPARATION & CRYSTAL CLEAR. WHEN VIEWED IN NORMAL GOOD DAYLIGHT BOTH SIDES LOOK PERFECT AND THERE IS STILL A LITTLE FLASHING NEAR THE CENTRE SPINDLE HOLE. IN HIGH ARTIFICIAL LIGHT THERE ARE SOME SMALL INSIGNIFICANT 'WITHDRAWAL TRACES'  WHERE THE RECORD HAS BEEN TAKEN IN & OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THE A SIDE HAS THE FULL SWIRL LABEL AND THE B SIDE HAS THE LARGE SWIRL LOGO EXTENDING TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. AS STATED THE B SIDE LABEL HAS THE 'PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' CREDIT AT 6 O'CLOCK. THE UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER IS IN SIMILAR BEAUTIFUL UNABUSED CONDITION WITH A PERFECT SPINE ETC HAVING BEEN STORED FROM NEW IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD IS THE UPSIDE DOWN CROSS WITH LYRICS & PERSONNEL INCLUDING 'OSSIE OSBORNE- VOCALS. HARMONICA' & 'PRODUCED BY ROGER BAIN OF TUESDAY PRODUCTIONS FOR TONY HALL ENTERPRISES' , 'ALBUM DESIGNED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY KEEF'. ALSO HAS THE TEXT 'WARNING- Copyright subsists in all stereo recordings ' etc etc. OF COURSE IT COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL ANTI STATIC SWIRL INNER BAG IN FINE CONDITION ALSO. WHAT CAN I SAY? THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TIME WARP ARCHIVE COPY WITH NO FAULTS. I AM SURE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED SHOULD YOU BE THE VERY LUCKY WINNER. IT WILL BE POSTED VERY SECURELY PACKAGED TO THE WINNER OF THIS AUCTION BY SPECIAL DELIVERY WITHIN UK @ £5.95 OR BY GUARANTEED SIGNED FOR INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY OVERSEAS @ £6.95. LOW INITIAL RESERVE SO AS TO GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE.  THE VERY BEST OF LUCK TO ALL INTERESTED IN THIS EXCEPTIONAL & RARE CLASSIC.
