 This is the real deal 1ST PRESSING OF FRIGGIN MASTER OF REALITY in NEARMINT... And I'm kind of astonished I ever found one in this condition. It comes with a story: This was a spare copy perhaps never played by a huge USA Sabbath fan that got rid of a chunk of his stuff in a record store i used to work in. I'd looked for a NICE non-effed-up copy of this and couldn't believe the condition and asked him what the deal was and he explained he bought one to "keep" as well as one to play. I'm sure I asked him if he played it but I don't remember the answer.   

Condition: Sleeve: NEARMINT Although the years of storage have flattened it out a bit, you can see by the photos that it's still "boxy", the Laminate that makes it so shiny and glossy is 98% intact, just starting to detach along the front cover left edge. , There are no tears or stains anywhere. the flaps at the top and bottom are totally intact and hardly have any laminate damage considering how many of the flaps of these LPS get messed up so easy. The top flap has one small crease and the bottom is perfect, as it has probably never been un-flapped. 

Condition: VINYL: NEARMINT ----The vinyl looks unplayed. There are not even  paper marks from sliding in and out of sleeve. I could go on about the lustre of the thick vinyl, but if you are interested in this record, then you know what it should and does look like in SOLID NEARMINT. The cover is square and tight on all corners. I List here even the slightest marks or flaws here that i can notice. All vinyl is visually graded. I am not playing this, I think it would be it's maiden voyage and that privilige belongs to you. I will not go on and on about the sonics of the vinyl..so maybe my copy will 

Note, the label has tiny marks that could be mistaken for spindle marks but are way too sharp to be from spindle and look more like it was manufactured with this small imperfection on the label.

Condition: POSTER: NEARMINT - The Original poster included with original editions of the LP
