Description
Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath.
Vertigo Records. 1970.
V06 847 903 VTY.
As far as I can tell this is a 1st press variant, but the sleeve is not a 1st press as it doesn't have the known 1st press indicators.
Matrix / Runout (Side A, stamped): V0 6 1Y * 1 420 13
Matrix / Runout (Side B, stamped, variant 1): V0 6 2Y * 1 420 12 13
The vinyl is in excellent plus condition with no scratches or hairlines, it looks fantastic. It could pass for mint but I'm always reluctant to grade any record as mint unless sealed.
Play tested. No skips, jumps or repeats.
There is a little background noise on the dead wax between some songs.
Both labels are in excellent minus condition as there are rubbing marks on side one and side two but only one or two faint spindle marks.
The gatefold sleeve I'm grading as very good. It has residue to the front and shelf wear to the edges and corners and a small tear measuring approx 7mm to one corner. The spine is very nice. The inner Vertigo swirl sleeve is very good with creasing.
This record has been cleaned ultrasonically and has been placed in clean pvc lined inner sleeve with the original inner sleeve included.
Shipping will be by FedEx, signature verification, tracked and insured and a record mailer and stiffeners will be used.
The vinyl will be secured outside the outer sleeve to prevent sleeve damage.
Any questions, please ask. Lots more rare records to come!
Buyers from outside Europe, apart from those living in the U.K , please wait for an invoice before paying so I may supply you with postage quotations. Thanks.
No shipping to Russia or Vietnam.
I use the Record Collector's grading system giving separate condition ratings for the Vinyl and Sleeve:
Near Mint (NM) - A nearly perfect record. Has more than likely been played few times or not at all, and the vinyl will show no imperfections during playback. Sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects. The same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Excellent (EX) -The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Sleeve may have slight wear or creasing
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Sleeve, normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.
Good (GD) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. Sleeve suffers from folding, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
