BLACK SABBATH, MASTER OF REALITY, 1st UK PRESS, VERTIGO SWIRL, BOX SLEEVE, RARE

This record has been vacuum machine cleaned and test played in full on quality hi-fi. My grading is based on the UK record collector grading system.  I will gladly combine postage on multiple items so check out my other records. Thanks

Details:- From my own personal collection - Rare 1971 1st UK pressing of  Master of Reality by Black Sabbath. Released on the original Vertigo swirl label, catalogue No. 6360 050. The black and white on the swirl label was inverted from the stardard Vertigo's on this release. The record comes in the original fully laminated embossed box sleeve and swirl poly-lined inner. Sorry the poster is no longer around. Matrix 6360050 1Y//1 ?420 1 7 04, 6360050 2Y//1 ?420 1 4  04

Vinyl Condition:-  EX Condition and EX sound quality. Gleaming shiny vinyl with a few fine surface sleeve brushings. There is a tiny 1mm warp right on the edge. By the second track it's totally gone and has no effect on play or sound. It's barely noticable at all but I always try my best to describe everything accurately. The record has been fully tested played on the following. Rega RP3 Deck, Rega Elicit-R Amp, Rega RS5 Speakers

Sleeve Condition:- EX Very nice condition sleeve. The laminate retains excellent shine. The top and bottom opening flaps are nice and crisp and not flattened down as often happens with this box style sleeve. The spine is fully readable and has a little flattening but is still fine, see pics. There is a little lifting of the laminate where it runs down the spine, this I have clearly photographed. There is some light wear on the corners and a small area of wear on the botton edge

Label Condition:-  Side 1 label is EX+, Side 2 label is VG+ with a few light spindle marks and a little wear around the spindle hole.

This Vertigo Swirl 1st UK press seldom comes up for sale in Excellent Condition and Excellent Audio playback like this. Dont miss your chance

I always reduce postage on multiple items. Each additional item will only be charged 50% the original postage cost worldwide.  Check out my other rare vinyls!

 Grading Abbreviations

Grading below is as stated from UK Record Collector. I also use +/- for records that fall somewhere between a grade

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

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

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
