BLACK SABBATH -VOL 4-1972 PHILIPS LARGE SWIRL 1ST PRESS-FANTASTIC AUDIO

VOL 4

THIS IS SABBATH'S 4TH ALBUM, AND OFTEN OVERLOOKED AS IT HAD TO COMPETE AGAINST THEIR FIRST THREE CLASSIC ALBUMS. BUT THIS ONE IS JUST AS GOOD AS THE OTHERS !!! PLAYS FANTASTIC AND IS A PHILIPS FIRST PRESS WITH LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL, AND IS A GERMAN PRESS. I WAS ONCE ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT A GERMAN PRESS I LISTED BEFORE, AND AS I TOLD THEM, "OZZY DOES NOT SING IN GERMAN", HA HA !!! I HAVE THE UK PRESS AND I THINK THE GERMAN PRESS IS A MUCH BETTER ONE. THIS IS FROM MY VINYL VAULT, AND A HARD ROCK MONSTER !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1972 GERMAN PHILIPS 1ST PRESS  :: 1Y//4  ::  2Y//5 .

ON THE LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL  :: 6360 071 .

HAS 'A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT' ON THE LABELS . 

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL GATEFOLD WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH SOME LIGHT RUB ON TOP EDGE. THERE IS SOME OLD CELLO TAPE MARKS ALONG THE SPLINE AND BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE EDGE. THERE ARE NO SPLITS !!! THERE ARE SOME SMALL CREASE LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE SIDE AND A SMALL RUB ON EACH CORNER.THE BACK IS BEST DESCRIBED AS THE FRONT. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE IS SOME PAPER LOSS DOWN THE MIDDLE. THIS IS WHERE THE BOOKLET WOULD HAVE BEEN. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO IT, AND I CAN NOT FIND IT. OVER ALL NOT THE GREATEST OF COVERS, AND CERTAINLY NOT THE WORST AS THERE ARE NO MAJOR PROBLEMS. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS, THANK YOU. SO I WOULD GRADE :: VG+ .

VINYL :: THE VINYL YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW PLAYS WITH NO AUDIO ISSUES, AND NO LOUD TICKS, CLICKS, POPS, JUMPS, STICKS OR SKIPS !!! AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS SUPERB WHICH WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE WILL BE NOT NASTY MARKS OR SCRATCHES. ONLY WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT CAN YOU SEE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS. THERE IS A LONGER COSMETIC HAIRLINE ACROSS THE FIRST THREE TRACKS ON SIDE , WHICH ALSO HAS NO EFFECT ON THE AUDIO, AND IS SEEN ONLY WHEN ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, BUT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !!! ALL I HEARD WAS TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 2, AND TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE AND ANOTHER TWO TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 4 :: WHILE SIDE 2 HAS ONLY TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 1, AND A BIT OF FAINT STATIC AT THE START AND A BIT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3......AND THAT'S IT !!!! NOT A LOT WRONG WITH THE AUDIO AS YOU CAN SEE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LOUD OR INTRUSIVE, SO NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE. SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: A VERY VERY STRONG EX . 

LABELS :: IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH SOME FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT, AND A SMALL NAME WRITTEN ON BOTH LABELS ::  EX . 

POLYLINED INNER :: HAS NO WRITING, OR SPLITS JUST A BIT OF AGEING, AND IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL :: EX- .

WHAT A BRILLIANT ALBUM, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE AUDIO !!! COVER IS NOT THE BEST, BUT IT IS SOLID. OF COURSE IT IS A PHILIPS 1ST PRESS WITH LARGE SWIRL LABEL, WHICH MAKES IT VERY COLLECTABLE. AND I MUST NOT FORGET TO REMIND YOU, " OZZY DOES NOT SING IN GERMAN", HA HA !!!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
