Description
Pressing was confirmed on discogs as this edition. https://www.discogs.com/release/5215374-Black-Sabbath-Born-Again
Album was play tested through Focal Elagias and played in the EX-/VG+ range. As an interesting aside this was the first Black Sabbath album I owned (1995) because I was really into Deep Purple at the time and I really like it, the mix and everything. A1 plays almost EX+ but it kind of goes down hill from there. A2, A4 and B2, and to a lesser extent B4, are super quiet and you can hear everything. These tracks play in the mid VG+ range. The remaining tracks play in the EX- and this is all relative to the degree of surface noise. Visually, it's in the VG+ - range and pretty close to VG but coupled with the play the vinyl is scored as VG+.
The sleeve has hit everything but the lottery, particularly the top right corner. Some other highlights include the impression of pen scribble on the rear (there must have been a piece of paper directly on the sleeve) which was later impressed onto the front cover in an attempt to copy the S in Sabbath. It's almost not there but you'll see these in the last front pictures. There is also color chipping to the seams and light creases running in from the spine. Numerically, it's a 70; enough to keep it out of summer school but just barely.
Album will be mailed USPS with the vinyl behind the jacket between cardboard and bubble wrap in a reinforced mailer. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
