Vertigo Swirl very 1st UK pressing!
Will not locate a better example of a UK 1st press than this so please look no further ! The final upgrade and a mega discovery .Impossible to find near mint vinyl .A stunning original 1971 first issue release. Earliest laminated boxed sleeve in sensational condition and included the most impressive full colour GIANT poster of this magnificent rock group of the seventies !Poster never hung on a wall. No pin holes, and see pic for the best example ever viewed of this massive rarity. Never come across such a rare poster as this as most are found much smaller in dimension. This massively scarce poster was ONLY issued with a handful of first pressings so massively rare and IMPOSSIBLE to locate !!No creasing and folds are crisp and factory fresh as beautiful as the day it was printed. Never taken out of the sleeve till NOW for me to show you how impressive this exhibit is. The reverse is tainted with age discoloration in three places and adds to the genuity of this sensational exhibit ! Absolutely awesome and never seen better!
GIANT Poster was only issued with the very first handful of very first pressings, so a really awesome example. Impossible to locate in this excellent+ condition . And I really mean excellent. I carefully opened the poster for a pic to exemplify its true magnificence and it felt so fresh and ultra clean. I note that the coloration is more vivid and the photographic print has a finer detail than the smaller poster format . Thick paper manufacture is basically the same but a more delicate printing technique has been used, to make this have a far more impressive appeal than the smaller version. I am convinced that it has never been opened until this very day. No fading , rips or tears and in near MINT condition. Some age discoloration on reverse which enhances the age of this exhibit and will delight all serious vinyl collectors. Corners nice and sharp, no curls or creasing. Awesome! Most posters that are found are only half the size of this gigantic example .Amazing !
The vinyl is visually stunning with highly polished, glass like surfaces , very similar to mint vinyl . Virtually unmarked under ordinary light . Appears freshly pressed and almost as new to the voyeur . I doubt whether one will come across another quite like this one .Would be impossible to match.
Audio Plays as it should and will not find better. Aural delivery is sensational with the deepest of bass tones which thunder through the speakers in tremendous style. A truly excellent++ audio with very little to fault . Certainly one of the best aural deliveries ever heard from this awesome rock classic. Test piece for this audio is “Solitude” and zaps your mind, when one hears the exquisite clarity of the grooves, so very seldom witnessed, from this very silent passage of music. This rock lullaby is delivered in sensational style. Mega rare vinyl and in a class of its own !
The first issue , fully laminated boxed sleeve is in excellent + condition. Lamination reflects a glossy sheen with only one or two creases in the laminate towards the outer extremity. Top and lower folds of box are normally found ripped or damaged in some way but these are crisp with little to fault. Beautiful boxed variant and a pleasure to view. The lamination is almost perfect with hardly any laminate lifts which is truly remarkable as the majority are found lifting and peeling. Only one lamination lift 1cm square on top left .
Vertigo swirl label format indicating the very first issue of this sensational Sabbath release . No spindle trace observed with no mottling, rips or tears. No spindle wear at all. No discoloration on the magnificent large swirl label and are superb examples of this very famous label format. Near mint examples !
Vertigo swirl inner sleeve is a genuine original with inverted black/white inner sleeve. Excellent- condition . No seam splits just a slight ageing discoloration only, slight nick on lower edge and light feathering to opening edge.
Of True investment quality.
One of the very best examples of this Sabbath classic ,boasting one of the most highly sought after coloured posters of the seventies era, in MEGA RARE GIANT format and possibly the best ever viewed, normally found missing and so hard to locate these days ,especially in this sensational condition. Original first swirl inner bag with a stunning, near mint, highly polished vinyl, with a top aural delivery, making this album presentation an absolute “MUST HAVE” for the serious collector .
