BLACK SABBATH - self-titled debut LP - large Vertigo swirl with inner

These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding.

This listing is for a copy of Black Sabbath's great debut album

Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath
UK Vertigo swirl label
1970
Cat Number: VO 6 matrix 1Y*1 / 2Y*1
Mode: Stereo

Condition:
Cover: Unlaminated gatefold sleeve is in very nice condition apart from the dymo. It has some light wear to the bottom edge and rubbing to three corners but is otherwise in strong clean condition with a nice square spine and all text perfectly legible. The poly lined swirl inner bag is intact but is age fading to light brown around the edges.
Labels: Vertigo labels are clean with no writing or stickers. Just a few spindle marks, excellent.
Vinyl: Very nice vinyl with the customary light paper scrapes and a very light non sounding hairline on side B. It plays really well throughout.

Overall:
A very nice example of this album - I'd guess that it might be professionally graded as (cover / vinyl) VG+ / EX

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing. I played almost all of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.

Postage: I always make a loss on postage. Ebay now surcharge sellers 10% of postage costs for which there can be no justification - I refuse to pass this levy on to buyers, so you only pay post and packing, they get to rip me off, not you.

Current UK internal weight ranges allow two or three LPs to be posted first class for the same cost as one. Second class charges can currently cover 5 or 6 albums but for 4-6 I'll use a second mailer. Approximate prices for normal postage with new custom packaging -

UK £3-69 first class for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs), £3-19 second class for 1 - 3 or £3-58 for 4 - 6 LP's. Double LP's count as two

Rest of world £8.09 + £2.70 each additional item + £4.65 for signed for service

These amounts include estimated actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 39p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener).

International bidders welcome, but postage to some locations will be handled by the eBay global shipping program - unfortunately I have no control over the onward shipping cost, just the UK leg which will cost as above.

I'm happy to hold records for a short while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days.

The time has come to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.

Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my beloved vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
