ORIGINAL - AUTHENTIC - VINTAGE 1971 WB RELEASE OF BLACK SABBATH'S "MASTER OF REALITY" (BS2562) WITH ORIGINAL VINTAGE POSTER AND INNER SLEEVE.

Special Note:  I take my vinyl collecting and selling very seriously.  Accordingly, I believe you should know exactly what you're buying before you put money down - that's why I go the the lengths I do to detail how an album plays and sounds.  I do not merely describe the albums I offer for sale as "PLAYS DECENT" or "SOUNDS GOOD".   I do not rely on visual inspection to guess how an album will/should play nor do I casually listen to an album or merely spot check it.  Each and every album I list has been thoroughly listened to from beginning to end (both sides - usually  more than once) in order to identify any issues and detail any distractions to the overall listening quality/experience.  When you purchase an album from me that I've gone to the extent I do to describe (like below) you can do so in confidence - you know exactly what to expect and what you are buying, no guessing or hoping you got lucky with your purchase - that's no way to buy an album.

THIS IS THE TOTAL PACKAGE - IT COMES COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL VINTAGE POSTER IN STRICT MINT CONDITION!!!  THIS IS NOT - REPEAT - NOT A REPRINT POSTER FROM THE RECENT RHINO 180g OR ANY OTHER REISSUE.  THIS HARD TO COME BY POSTER HAS NO CREASES OTHER THAN IT'S ORIGINAL FOLD LINES.  NO RIPS OR TEARS.  NO PINHOLES OR TAPE MARKS/RESIDUE FROM HAVING BEEN DISPLAYED.  IT IS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS THIS HASN'T BEEN FOLDED/UNFOLDED VERY MANY TIMES (IF AT ALL). 

THIS LP HAS BEEN CLEANED  USING MY SPECIAL METHOD FOR CLEANING (IT REALLY DIDN'T NEED IT, BUT I DID ANYWAY) TO REMOVE ANY DIRT/DEBRIS THAT MIGHT BE HIDING DEEP DOWN IN THE GROOVES.  THE RESULT IS THAT THE ONLY THING YOU'LL HEAR OTHER THAN MUSIC WILL BE THE EFFECTS OF ANY SCRATCHES THAT ARE DEEP ENOUGH TO CREATE POPS OR CLICKS (YOU CAN'T CLEAN THE SCRATCHES AWAY). THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES TO THIS LP!!!

THIS LP PRODUCES AUDIOPHILE QUALITY PLAY OF THE FINEST & HIGHEST DEGREE - I AM NOT EXAGGERATING!!!!

LP PLAYS LIKE VIRTUALLY BRAND NEW ON BOTH SIDES (NO EXCEPTIONS) WITH NO SURFACE HISS OR CRACKLE.  NOT ONLY DOES IT PLAY LIKE NEW, IT LOOKS THAT WAY AS WELL - THE LABELS ARE NEAR MINT IN APPEARANCE.  THE LP'S SURFACE IS NEARLY PERFECT IN APPEARANCE (SEE PICS PROVIDED) FABULOUS GLOSS, DEEP GROOVES, NONE OF THE USUAL PAPER SCUFFS, NO HAIRLINE SCRATCHES.  THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES THAT CREATE POPS, TICKS OR CLICKS DURING PLAY!

SIDE ONE PLAYS WITHOUT ISSUE - CALL IT MINT.  THERE IS NO ANNOYING SURFACE HISS OR CRACKLE TO BE HEARD (THE GROOVES ARE CLEAN!).   FROM THE MOMENT THE STYLUS TOUCHES DOWN ON THE THE RECORD'S SURFACE YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN FOR A TRULY AWESOME LISTENING EXPERIENCE.  IOMMI'S  COUGHING AT THE INTRO OF "SWEET LEAF" IS ALL YOU HEAR AS IT BEGINS, IT PLAYS PERFECT AND FINISHES IN COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE SILENCE AS IT LEADS INTO "AFTER FOREVER".  "AFTER" PLAYS PERFECT WITH NO SOUND DISRUPTION FROM POPS, TICKS OR CLICKS.  "EMBRYO" PLAYS AWESOMELY QUIET THROUGHOUT THE TRACK AND MOST IMPORTANTLY AS IT FINISHES AND LEADS INTO THE LAST TRACK "CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE" WHICH STARTS OUT PERFECTLY AND FINISHES IN FINE FORM WITH THE HOWLING WIND AND HAUNTING VOCALS CALLING OUT CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE.  THIS IS THE VERY BEST LISTENING EXPERIENCE YOU'RE GOING TO FIND - 

SIDE TWO PLAYS EQUALLY AS WELL - "ORCHID" BEGINS PERFECTLY QUIET AND PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A HISS OR CRACKLE TO BE HEARD - JUST PURE SOUND OF THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND IT FINISHES PERFECTLY AS IT LEADS INTO "LORD OF THIS WORLD".   "LORD" PLAYS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE.  THE LEAD IN TO "SOLITUDE" IS PERFECTLY QUIET - NO HISS, NO CRACKLE, NO POPS, NO TICKS TO BE HEARD - IN OTHER WORDS IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC - IT FADES OUT TO COMPLETE SILENCE BEFORE "INTO THE VOID" BEGINS.  "INTO" PLAYS WITHOUT ISSUE.

THE JACKET IS POSSIBLY THE NICEST ONE I'VE COME ACROSS THAT DOESN'T STILL HAVE SHRINKWRAP ON IT - IN FACT, IT IS MUCH NICER THAN ONE I SOLD A WHILE BACK THAT DID HAVE THE SHRINKWRAP ON IT!!!

MIRACULOUSLY THIS JACKET STILL RETAINS A GOOD DEAL OF GLOSS - MOST THESE JACKETS HAVE LOST ANY SEMBLANCE OF THEIR ORIGINAL GLOSS (YES THEY HAD A GLOSS LOOK) OVER THE DECADES FROM SCUFFING DUE TO INSERTION AND REMOVAL FROM STACKS OF RECORDS AND CREATING ALBUM RING IMPRESSION AND COLOR LOSS.   THE ONLY REAL COLOR LOSS HERE IS ON THE E IN "REALITY" WITH 2 VERY MINOR SPOTS/FLAKES OF WHITE.  THE EMBOSSED LETTERING ON THIS IS THE HIGHEST RELIEF I'VE SEEN ON THE SEVERAL COPIES I'VE OWNED AND SOLD - MAKING IT ALL THE MORE UNUSUAL THAT THERE ISN'T ANY SIGNIFICANT WEAR TO JACKET.  THIS THING OBVIOUSLY WAS EITHER VERY GINGERLY CARED FOR OR WAS PLACED IN A STACK OF ALBUMS AND NEVER REMOVED MORE THAN A COUPLE TIMES.  THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS, THE LETTERING ON SPINE IS COMPLETELY VISIBLE - JUST SOME VERY MINOR WEAR TO TOP AND BOTTOM CORNERS OF SPINE. 

IF YOU'D LIKE TO (OR PREFER) TO OWN THIS CLASSIC SABBATH ALBUM COMPLETE AS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AND IN POSSIBLY THE BEST CONDITION YOU'LL EVER FIND IT THEN THIS IS YOUR GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY - DON'T LET IT PASS YOU BUY!!!!
