Description
THIS IS MY SPARE COPY & IS NOT IN THE NEAR MINT ORDER OF THE OTHER COPY I HAVE JUST SOLD. HOWEVER AGAIN IT IS THE INCREDIBLY RARE VERY FIRST EVER UK PRESSING FROM FEBRUARY 1970 OF THE DEBUT BLACK SABBATH LP WITH THE 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' CREDIT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE B SIDE LABEL. THE A SIDE OF COURSE HAS THE FULL BLACK& WHITE SWIRL LABEL AND THE B SIDE HAS THE LARGE SWIRL LOGO EXTENDING TO THE SPINDLE HOLE WITH THE PHILIPS CREDIT AT THE BOTTOM. 95% OF THE COPIES YOU WILL FIND WILL NOT HAVE THE B SIDE PHILIPS LABEL CREDIT. THIS LABEL CREDIT IS UNIQUE ONLY TO THE VERY SMALL BATCH OF INITIALLY PRESSED ALBUMS. RECORD NUMBER VO6 847 903 VTY WITH SMALL MACHINE PUNCHED MATRICES 1Y & 2Y. SIDE B IS IN VG++ to EX MINUS CONDITION. THERE ARE 2 or 3 VERY LIGHT INDEED AND VERY SMALL SURFACE ONLY MARKS & SOME FEINT TRACES WHEN HELD UNDER MORE PROMINENT DIRECT LIGHT. NONE AFFECT PLAY AT ALL. SIDE A IS A STRAIGHT VG GRADE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SURFACE SCUFFS ON PART OF THE FIRST TRACK AND LIKE THE OTHER SIDE SOME FEINT TRACES WHEN HELD UNDER STRONG DIRECT LIGHT. THERE IS A CLICK AT ONE POINT ON EACH REVOLUTION OF THE FIRST TRACK SIDE A FOR ABOUT 40 SECONDS BEFORE DISAPPEARING. NO SKIPS OR JUMPS BUT THERE IS A CLICK. AFTER THAT SOUND RESUMES TO THE USUAL STANDARD OF A GENUINE FIRST UK SWIRL PRESSING, RICH & DYNAMIC & WITH ONLY SLIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE BETWEEN TRACKS & IN QUIET SECTIONS, NOT THAT THERE ARE MANY!! SO THE VINYL IS VG++ to VG. THERE IS A NAME IN BLUE OUTLINE PEN IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE B SIDE LABEL ONLY, 'DEL'. LIES FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE & OF COURSE THESE VERY RARE FIRST PRESSINGS ARE ON VERY DEEPLY GROOVED & VERY THICK GAUDE VINYL INDEED. THE UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD COVER WITH THE UPSIDE DOWN CROSS/ LYRICS IS IN VG+ CONDITION. IT IS NOT BAD, JUST NOT PERFECT. THERE IS WEAR TO THE SPINE, CORNER TIPS & LEADING EDGES. INSIDE OF GATEFOLD HAS THE MUSICIANS CREDITS INCLUDING OSSIE OSBORNE- VOCALS, HARMONICA PRODUCED BY ROGER BAIN OF TUESDAY PRODUCTIONS FOR TONY HALL ENTERPRISES ALBUM DESIGNED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY KEEF. THEN AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE INSIDE GATEFOLD THERE IS THE 'WARNING- Copyright subsists etc etc credit. COMES COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL ANTI STATIC SWIRL INNER BAG THOUGH IN BLUE PEN AT THE TOP IT IS WRITTEN 'BLACK SABBATH D REVELL'. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT A VG+ to VG COPY BUT A RARE & DESIRABLE VERY FIRST UK PRESSING.
