BLACK SABBATH ?– S/T

Welcome to my auction, this item and all items I sell have been acquired/cleaned/graded by yours truly alone. I am an avid collector specializing in finding the best sounding pressings of my favorite music. These sales are the results of my efforts over the years. I stand by my sales and your satisfaction is priority one. International bidders are always welcome to bid. On to the good stuff.   All records are cleaned in an ultrasonic tank with Groovmaster label protectors. They are then cleaned on a VPI 16.5 with L'Art du Son cleaning fluid and Mofi brushes. Once cleaned they are rinsed on the VPI 16.5 with Whole Foods Deionized water.

All records will be shipped using a sturdy mailer with the LP outside the sleeve in it's own poly inner sleeve. The jacket and the LP will be placed in a plastic sleeve.
