RECORD/SLEEVE:
This is the mega rare very first pressing of a Sabbath classic! The disc comes with the big swirl and is in fantastic condition!! It still has a great sheen, with side A looking absolutely wonderful!! There are no hairlines to speak of, just a few of the lightest of sleeve removal lines under harsh light. Side B has one very small mark and less than a handful of very light hairlines, which again can only properly be seen under strong light. In general though this is fantastic and grades a brilliant EX (some would grade better)!! It has a little surface noise in between tracks but I'm sure a good clean will sort this as the disc is great!!
The sleeve (see pics) is in great shape and only has a small amount of wear to the edges/corners! To the front and back there is very little wear, considering the fragility of these unprotected sleeve. It is worth noting that this is the very earliest sleeve 'Big Bear' credit on the inside of the gatefold. This was very, very quickly removed!! So that the fact that the sleeve is no nice makes it even better!! To avoid disappointment, I will grade as VG+
There are two swirl inners. The first is the sleeve I keep the disc in, which is an EX 1971 inner. The original has a little more wear including a stamp and some writing (see pics) but this is still nice!! I will send both sleeves!!
This is a great record that I am mega reluctant to let go!!
Any questions, please message me!
