Description
OH! WHAT A CLASSIC CLASSIC ALBUM FROM BLACK SABBATH! THE ORIGINAL AND GENUINE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING OF THEIR 1970 OFFERING "PARANOID". ON THE VERTIGO (SWIRL) LABEL, THIS HAS THE VERY EARLIEST CREDENTIALS, AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS OLD.
THIS COPY HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY WELL, AND HAS NOT BEEN OVERPLAYED AT ALL. I HAVE RECENTLY COMMITED MY ENTIRE COLLECTION TO DISC, AND AM GIVING ANYONE OUT THERE THAT IS INTERESTED THE CHANCE TO OWN SOME ROCK HISTORY.
THIS IS A LOVELY COPY IN GREAT CONDITION, AND ONE FOR THE DISCERNING COLLECTOR. THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT IS ON OFFER:-
THE COVER: IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THESE UNLAMINATED COVERS ALWAYS SUFFERED FROM WEAR UNFORTUNATELY. THIS HAS SOME STORAGE WEAR TO EDGES, BUT SPINE IS FULLY READABLE. LIGHT MARKS AND RUB WEAR KEEP ME FROM GRADING MUCH HIGHER. A LOVELY SOLID EXAMPLE ALL THE SAME.
THE INNER SLEEVE: IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE "SWIRL" POLY LINED HAS MILD AGE DISCOLOURATION, AND VERY LIGHT CREASING. THERE HAS BEEN SOME EDGE WEAR, BUT THIS HAS BEEN VERY TIDILY REPAIRED. ANOTHER NICE EXAMPLE.
LABELS AND VINYLS: LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT ORDER. HARDLY A SPINDLE TRACE TO BE FOUND. THIS HAS NOT BEEN OVERPLAYED. VERY CLEAN AND BRIGHT. THE VINYLS TOO LOOK GORGEOUS, WITH BARELY A MARK OF NOTE. TOP COPY.
HOW DOES IT SOUND?: THE SOUND PRODUCED IS POWERFUL AND DYNAMIC. THIS HAS LOST NOTHING IN ITS TIME. THE RAW ENERGY IS EVIDENT, AND APART FROM THE VERY ODD BACKGROUND IN QUIET MOMENTS (VERY UNOBTRUSIVE) THEY PLAY WITHOUT FAULT. NO STICKS, JUMPS OR WHATEVER.
MATRIX INFORMATION: SIDE 1: 6063 011 1Y/1 420
SIDE 2: 6063 011 2Y/1 420
THATS ABOUT IT REALLY. PRETTY AMAZING CONDITION ALL ROUND, PROBABLY AS GOOD AS YOU COULD FIND AT THIS STAGE IN ITS CAREER!!!. DON'T MISS THIS.
