MINT RECORD

super high gloss - as new surfaces

only one or two of the lightest featherlight traces from the original poly-lined inner

plays brilliantly - as new throughout

 

MINT LABELS

clean, bright and sharp

only one or two of the faintest spindle traces

 

NEAR MINT COVER

the best I have seen for many, many years

superb deep black, clean white and blazing orange colour with no fading, rubbing, scuffing or dulling - even the spine is square, sharp and completely unfaded - the inner pages are perfect with no signs of handling - NO circular wear to either the front, interior or rear sleeve - merely light bumps to two corners

 

MINT INNER

an exceptional jet black and snow white example of the classic spiral inner sleeve

no fading, yellowing or any of the usual glue stains

 

 

the fourth and most monumental chapter in the history of Black Sabbath

SOME OF THE MOST BRUTALLY POWERFUL MUSIC THE BAND EVER RECORDED IS ON THIS ASTONISHING RECORD - WHEELS OF CONFUSION, SNOWBLIND AND UNDER THE SUN, IN PARTICULAR, ARE MASSIVELY POWERFUL AND UNRIVALLED IN THE HISTORY OF HARD ROCK AND HEAVY PROGRESSIVE MUSIC - A FIRST PRESS RECORD IS THE ONLY WAY TO FULLY APPRECIATE THESE MIGHTY TRACKS, REVEALING THE ORIGINAL CATHARTIC POWER OF BLACK SABBATH IN ALL ITS GLORY, WITHOUT THE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS REISSUING, COPYING, TRANSFERING, REMASTERING AND VARIOUS OTHER DILUTIONS OF THE TOWERING ORIGINAL ESSENCE. . .

an awesome original - one of the best copies of this classic I’ve ever seen

 

HARDLY EVER SEEN LIKE THIS

NEAR PERFECT UK SWIRL ORIGINAL 1st PRESS

WHEN WILL YOU FIND ANOTHER IN SUCH INCREDIBLY WELL-PRESERVED PRISTINE CONDITION?
