Up for auction I have an increasingly scarce copy of Black Sabbath's legendary and groundbreaking album Paranoid(Cat No Vertigo 6360 011).Matrix etchings read as follows:6360011 1Y//2 / 6360011 2Y//2. As far as I'm aware this is a first press on the Vertigo Swirl label though I am aware that these records can be something of a minefield!!!
The vinyl I am grading as excellent- condition. It is a very decent playable copy with minor surface marks and a scuff on Fairies Wear Boots that does not interfere with the listening experience. There is no writing on the labels,in fact there is no writing of any kind of this item.So many copies do but this one has survived it's 40 years pretty well I would say.
The original matt sleeve complete with the rare "Big Bear" credit has the usual storage and light edge wear so common with a record this age though the spine is clearly readable.The inside of the sleeve is beautiful.Most as you know are utterly battered and frayed.
This does come complete with the original Vertigo swirl inner sleeve though it is not poly lined any more.If you do have any questions,please ask,it's not a hassle,in fact it's a pleasure.Thanks for looking and good luck.
RECORD COLLETOR GRADING GUIDE.
MINT :
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed be Mint.
EXCELLENT :
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD :
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
SMALL PRINT : I am first and foremost a collector, and grade strictly as I wish everyone would. Records will be well-packed between cardboard, and sent in record mailers. In the interests of the environment, these will be recycled whenever possible. All records are sent with a certificate of posting, if you wish additional insurance please ask – I cannot be held responsible for missing parcels.
I may use a + or a - to emphasise a grading which may be inbetween a grade. I will never use a mint grading for a 2nd hand/used record for instance. Mint- will be the very highest grade.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT,AND WILL NOT,RETRACT A BID FOR ANYONE REGARDLESS OF THE EXCUSE.THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WILL HAVE TO DO YOURSELF USING THE BID RETRACTION FORM AND EARN A BID RETRACTION STRIKE AGAINST YOURSELF.
Paypal ONLY accepted for buyers outside the United Kingdom(UK) and I will ONLY send outside of the UK via International signed for. Yes it's more expensive but I've been ripped off too many times by unscrupulous ebayers.No exceptions on this,sorry.
