Description
Black Sabbath – Paranoid
Original UK Vertigo Swirl pressing from 1970.
A highly collectible early UK pressing featuring the large Vertigo swirl labels
Catalogue Number: 6360 011 Matrix / Runout: Side 1: 1Y//2 Side 2: 2Y//1 Vinyl Condition: VGThe record has been fully play tested all the way through.
Playback includes surface noise, crackle and intermittent clicks throughout in places, particularly during quieter passages and intros/dead wax sections, which is common with early heavily played copies of this album.
War Pigs has an early click and occasional clicks during playback but remains a great listen. Paranoid plays through with occasional clicks and light crackle before the track start. Planet Caravan has noticeable surface noise and clicks throughout but still plays OK. Iron Man plays strongly with no skips or jumps noted. Electric Funeral sounds very good overall with only normal light surface noise and one identified click near the end. Hand Of Doom has some surface noise and clicks in quieter sections and may have one very small moment of mistracking/possible skip, although difficult to consistently reproduce. Rat Salad and Fairies Wear Boots both play through without skips or jumps.Despite the age-related playback wear, this remains a very enjoyable listen throughout with strong heavy audio.
No major skips or sticking noted during testing.
Visual Condition: The vinyl retains a good sheen but shows visible surface marks and hairlines consistent with age and use. Sleeve Condition: G+Original sleeve with visible age and storage wear including edge wear, laminate creasing and handling marks, but still displays well overall. Please study all photos carefully.
A very respectable original UK Vertigo swirl player copy of this classic Black Sabbath album.
Will be securely packed in a proper LP mailer with stiffeners.
