Hello. I've been collecting records for 20 years now (mainly original 1960's-1970's Prog, Psych, Beat & Jazz albums) and now I've decided to sell them all! As you can see from my pictures, I've lots of records for sale, so add me to your favorite sellers list and get great records in near future! All my auctions will start at £0,99 with NO reserve, so grab a bargain. My seller feedback is 100% positive, so you can bid with confidence. Grading a record is always very hard, as everyone got their own grading system. I always check my records under a critical light so there won’t be any surprises (many sellers don’t do this), so I will see even the lightest hairlines and sleeve removal lines which you won’t see in normal room light. I’m a collector myself, so I do my best to be honest with my grading. Please see my grading system in the bottom of this page. I DO NOT ship to RUSSIA! Thanks for reading everything and happy bidding!!!

What I have for sale here is:

Artist: Black Sabbath
Title: Master of Reality
Label: Vertigo
Cat#: 6360 050
Made in: England (1971)

Description: It's hard enough to find a 1st press of this LP in any condition, but to find one as OUTSTANDING as this is very RARE! Usually the delicate box sleeve is crushed torn and worn, but NOT the case here!!! And not only that, this also includes the original black swirly inner sleeve and the impossibly rare poster! So this is the 1st. UK pressing of this classic Sabbath album. Matrices are 6360050 1Y//1 and 6360050 2Y//1…

Condition: EX/EX (Record/Cover) VG+ (Poster)
Record has few harmless sleeve removal lines and last track on side B have few tiny spots! Music is very loud in that part so can't really hear anything bad in that area! Labels are very clean with NO writing and it looks like it has been played maybe once or twice ONLY! Fully laminated Howards Printers box cover is beautiful, almost no damage at all and all the corners are sharp too! Only very slight lamination lifting, but it's still in its BOX shape after all these years! Swirl inner sleeve has some wear and slight yellowing due to its age, but NO splits! Poster has been on the wall as there are some pin holes on the corners and one small tear, but NO splits and colors are still strong and beautiful. Nice and complete set of this Black Sabbath masterpiece...

Grading (Record):
This is my grading system. I’m very strict when grading a record. Mostly my VG+ grade is most sellers EX. Also, I don’t use VG+++ or EX+++++ like some sellers do…

NM (NEAR MINT)
This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.

EX (EXCELLENT)
Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a few hairline scratches but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.

VG+ (VERY GOOD+)
Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Might have a light click or two, but NO skips or jumps. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections but otherwise clean.

Grading (Cover):

NM (NEAR MINT)
Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

EX (EXCELLENT)
Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG+ (VERY GOOD+)
Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

Payment by Paypal or bank transfer (IBAN).
