Have the pleasure of listing some lovely original 1st and 2nd pressing UK LP's and 45's this week. Fantastic to hear these legendary albums from the original source...

The shortest album of Black Sabbath's glory years, Master of Reality is also their most sonically influential work. Here Tony Iommi began to experiment with tuning his guitar down three half-steps to C#, producing a sound that was darker, deeper, and sludgier than anything they'd yet committed to record. (This trick was still being copied 25 years later by every metal band looking to push the limits of heaviness, from trendy nu-metallers to Swedish deathsters.) Much more than that, Master of Reality essentially created multiple metal subgenres all by itself, laying the sonic foundations for doom, stoner and sludge metal, all in the space of just over half an hour.

Tracks: Sweet leaf/ After forever/ Embryo/ Children of the grave/ Orchid/ Lord of the world/ Solitude/ Into the void.

Labels are nice and clean, there are a few light spindle marks. Record has some light scuff marks that produce a few light crackles and is in Excellent condition. Full gloss box cover has some very light crease marks around edges and a tiny surface tear on bottom edge of spine. Cover is in VG++ condition.
