Item Description
Black Sabbath – Master Of Reality (Warner Bros. Records – BS 2562)
Pressing features: 1st Original U.S. Press, 1971, Stereo, Embossed Cover, Green Label
Vinyl Record grade: VG – record has seen frequent play, with visible signs of handling including scratches, scuffs, and hairlines. While these imperfections are noticeable, the record plays through without skips. Expect consistent surface noise—clicks, crackle, and fuzz—particularly during quieter moments or at the start and end of tracks. However, given the genre (hard rock), the louder, more aggressive sound tends to mask much of the surface noise during playback. The imperfections are present but do not overpower the music.
Cover/Jacket grade: VG, very minor ringwear, somewhat frayed corners, and noticeable shelf wear, but all seams are fully intact and the artwork is vibrant. Presentable despite visible handling.
Other contents: Unfortunately, the original poster is no longer with the copy.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Record will be packed in a plastic outer sleeve with the record placed outside of the album jacket to prevent seam splits and securely sent in a reinforced media mailer with fragile stickers displayed on outside.
