Description
Hello, my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl hunger...I have never been a dealer and this is not a business. I will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.
If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they receive from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an album is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!
I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use the latest design strong card mailers for great protection during transit. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I am happy to post any where in the world but it must be fully insured.
The cost of postage will depend on the final selling value and the destination, so I can't advise the cost until the auction has ended.
PLEASE WAIT TO BE INVOICED
Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase I am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.
I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a few pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.
I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.
so here we go.........

SLEEVE...........Un-laminated, gatefold. Printed and made by Howards Printers (Slough) Ltd. This is the correct first print sleeve without the track times and without DELUXE on the back of the sleeve above the catalogue number, instead it has correctly printed VO PRICE CODE. The top seems show very little signs of wear and have no splits, the bottom edges are in similar very nice condition. The opening edges are very sharp with only very minor feathering to the outer edge. The spine is strong and square, the information is bright and unfaded and fully readable. There is almost no wear to the spine edges and there is no splitting. There is wear to the corner tips and some minor small creases. The inside gatefold is in as new condition as is the booklet which is securely fixed in. On the front panel there is a small scuff to the second 'a' of Sabbath and a scratch line near the 'k' of Black.
There is NO ringwear, NO unwanted writing, no stickers or sticker residue or tears, there is no moisture damage or stains, just a couple of light age related foxing marks to the white lettering on the front panel.
A very tidy sleeve, easily graded EX
INNER SLEEVE..Original swirl, poly lined. Just a little of the usual aged glue browning. No splits just 2 small nicks to the cut out edge on front side. EX-
LABELS.............Rarest and first print B side label, with 'NO made in England' printed on it as the later copies have. The letter K is hand written in ink next to the catalogue number, Very small and neat. Very light spindle marks on both sides, EX, EX-
VINYL................It still has the as new deep black shine. In normal daylight this album looks pristine. On the A side there are no obvious marks or deep scratches only light, minor hair lines caused by removal from the inner sleeve.There are a couple of slightly more obvious lines on the B side that do not sound. The playback is very strong with not even a hint of wear or degradation to the sound. Some light dust crackle in the quiet sections,(a professional clean could remove these). The quality of this recording is obvious from the start, wonderful stereo separation and huge 3D sound stage, rich bass, crystal clear percussion, some of Ossie's best vocals. EX/EX
COMMENTS......Quite rare now, and this is a true first UK copy in very nice condition.
