BLACK SABBATH
BLACK SABBATH
Rare, early 2nd UK Press in Gatefold Sleeve, on the Vertigo swirl label
Vertigo Records VO 6 Made in UK Year of release - 1970
Second Pressing indicators:
- Released on the ''swirl'' Vertigo label with big logo above spindle hole and the wording ''Vertigo'' below spindle hole (does not have 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' text - which 1st pressings have.)
- Comes in a gatefold cover and with a ''swirl'' inner bag. The gatefold cover is slightly textured compared to later issues and has different upper-case only credits on inner gatefold.
- Vertigo inner sleeve reports: 'MADE IN ENGLAND British Patent No. 800513 & 973939 - PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS - TO AVOID SUFFOCATION KEEP THIS BAG AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN'
- The first issue had an erroneous copyright warning stating that “Copyright subsists in all Stereo recordings…”. Subsequent ''swirl'' Vertigo reissues (like this one) corrected copyright warning to “Copyright subsists in all Vertigo recordings…”
- The first and 2nd (this one) versions had band member and production credits in capital letters throughout. Subsequent ''swirl'' Vertigo reissues changed all credits into upper and lower case and also adds in composition and publishing credits.
- All issues released on the ''swirl'' Vertigo misspell Ozzy Osbourne as Ossie Osborne.
Condition:
Vinyl/labels: VG
Some light hairlines/surface marks visible, but they do not affect play unduly. Plays great, with no sticks/jumps, only occasional light tics and some light background.
Gatefold Sleeve: VG+
Some light edge wear, and a few small, light creases. The gatefold sleeve had previously been deliberately stuck closed and there are two small blebs of residue (blue tack/paint?) at the outer edges of the inner gatefold - see pics.
Vertigo Inner Sleeve: VG
The inner sleeve has quite a bit of light creasing.
Important Information: Postage & Packaging
Records are packaged safely using strong stiff cardboard and extra bubble wrap to ensure they arrive in the same condition as in my description. I also remove record from outer sleeve and original inner sleeves, to prevent seam splits. I am a record collector myself and understand the importance of safe packaging to ensure safe delivery.
Good luck and happy bidding!
Prompt payment is much appreciated. Please pay within 3 days of auction ending.
Postage prices are for Royal Mail 1st Class/International Standard. It is the buyer's responsibility to request additional cover, if they with the item to be tracked/signed for - highly recommended if the value is over £20.00.
