BLACK SABBATH
THEIR SECOND AND WHAT AN ALBUM THIS IS !!!!
PLAYS OUTSTANDING !!!!
FIRSTLY I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE PRESSINGS, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT, AS THIS ALBUM IS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE !!!!
WHEN FIRST RELEASED ON 18th SEPTEMBER 1970, LABEL 2 HAD, 'A LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LOGO' AND ALSO THE, 'VERTIGO LOGO' WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL. THE EARLIEST GATEFOLD WAS MATT, AND HAS ''Management / Jim Simpson, Big Bear, Birmingham'' CREDIT INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. THERE WERE THEN A FEW VARIOUS PRESSINGS AND LABEL VARIATIONS, AND ALSO COVER VARIATIONS. SO TO NOT BORE YOU ANY MORE, I CAN TELL YOU THE ONE LISTED BELOW, IS A 1971 REPRESS, AND COMES IN A FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED COVER, AS NOW ON LABEL 2, THE 'VERTIGO LOGO' IS ABOVE THE SPINDLE HOLE. I MUST POINT OUT THE ONE I HAVE LISTED IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE 1970 REISSUE, WHICH ALSO HAS A FRONT AND BACK LAMINATE GATEFOLD, BUT ON LABEL 2, IT HAS THE LARGE 'VERTIGO SWIRL LOGO', WITH THE 'VERTIGO LOGO' NOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LABEL.
WELL THAT'S THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THINGS, SO ON WITH THE LISTING, THANK YOU.
WELL I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME WE HAD SOME MORE BLACK SABBATH, WHO WERE FORMED IN BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND IN 1968, AND THIS, THEIR 2nd ALBUM, RELEASED ON 18th SEPTEMBER 1970, AND COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK REPRESS  ::  6360 011  1Y//2  V  420  12 09 C 23  ::  6360 011  2Y//2  V  420  12 9 . 
ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 6360 011  .

COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED GATEFOLD, AND IN LOVELY CONDITION, SO DIFFICULT TO FIND ONE LIKE THIS !!!! LOVELY SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH NO RUB, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. VERY NICE LAMINATE WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT, JUST SOME SMALL AND TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, JUST SOME LIGHT AGE RELATED MARKS AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A SOLID :: EX'EX- .

VINYL :: THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT IT PLAYS OUTSTANDING, WITH NO STATIC OR CRACKLE ANYWHERE, ALSO NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS OR CLICKS !!!!!

ALL I HEARD WAS JUST WONDERFUL CLEAR AUDIO ON BOTH SIDES !!!!

VISUALLY, NO ISSUES, JUST A FEW VERY FAINT SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, AND I WILL PLAY IT SAFE, DUE TO HOW COLLECTABLE IT IS, AND SO GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX+/NEAR MINT . IN NO WAY WILL YOU BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!

LABELS   :: AGAIN NO ISSUES SUPERB, JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

ORIGINAL SWIRL POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST SOME AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG+/EX- . NEARLY FORGOT, THE ORIGINAL POLY LINER IS MISSING, SO I HAVE PUT A SINGLE POLYLINER INSIDE.

AN ALBUM THAT NEVER AGES, AND WILL STILL BE LOVED WELL INTO THE FUTURE. PLAYS SUPERB, AND COMES IN A BEAUTIFUL GATEFOLD WITH SWIRL INNER, AND ONE CERTAINLY NOT TO FORGET ABOUT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!  ROSE.

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU ! 

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
