Here is your opportunity to own the legendary Master of Reality album from Black Sabbath. This was the third studio album from Black Sabbath. This album is held in high regard by many fans and critics alike. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Master of Reality number 298 out of the top 500 albums of all time. This album is truly one of Black Sabbath's best. If you have never heard this album, you owe to yourself to hear it on vinyl. This LP is the very first pressing on Warner Brothers Records from 1971. The LP labels state Masters of Reality and include three tracks that do not exist. This is a very rare first pressing and is highly sought after. This particular LP has BS-2562 T1 39928-1-3 as the matrix number etched in the dead wax, on side one. Side two of the LP has BS-2562 39929-1 etched on the dead wax. Both sides of the dead wax also have the artisan stamper on them. The stamper is two drumsticks over a drum. Artisan mastered some of the best albums of the early 1970's in L.A. The vinyl is in Very Good Plus/Very Good condition. The LP has some light paper scuffing and a several hairline scratches on each side. The blemishes have little affect on the playback. The playback is much closer to Very Good Plus. The LP labels have some light spindle marks on each side. Side two also has a black marker mark, to the left of the spindle hole. This album also includes the original Warner Brothers inner sleeve. The inner sleeve is in good condition. The inner sleeve has one small piece of scotch tape on the bottom seam, in the very middle. This auction also includes the coveted original poster. This poster was definitely hung at one point in time. All four of the corners have small holes from being hung. The outer edges on the middle fold also have damage. The tree that Ozzy is sitting next to also has Black Sabbath written on it. The poster is in not in mint condition, but it is still a nice example of an original poster. The LP cover is in Excellent Condition. The album cover has the slightest hint of ring wear that is noticeable on the front and the back. The spine has the slightest bit of wear, but it is legible and crisp. The top and bottom seams have an extremely minimal amount of wear. All of the seams are very tight and completely intact. The corners all have a small amount of rounding and also have very small creases. The spine and seams also have a few crease lines that originate from outer edge.

The album will be professional shipped in an LP mailer with two 12 inch cardboard inserts. The LP will be positioned outside of the jacket when shipped. This album is ready for playing or storage.
