Black Sabbath 'Master Of Reality' 1971 First Pressing
US - Promo - w/Timing Strip
Matrix Side 1) BS-2562-A 39928-1A Side 2) BS-2562-B 39929-1B
Vinyl Play Back: NM- Excellent delivery. An occasional tic or two. Audio Play Grade: 9+/10
Cover: EX+ ~ NM- Fully textured jacket, with embossed front lettering. The rare 'Radio Station Service' timing strip is applied to lower front. Only true, original promo covers have this sticker application. Some very light incidental bottom shelf wear is seen, and just a hint of ring impression. Signs of gentle usage handling, but with zero blemishes of concern. The cover is in exceptional condition.
Vinyl Visual: EX+ ~ NM- A few light whispy superficial spider lines. No scratches. Clean, with a still glossy sheen.
Labels: M- They remain perfectly white and clean. One tiny rub on Side 2 near the spindle hole... is barely worth mentioning. No apparent spindle marks are observed.
Poster: M- Like new condition.
Original WB Inner: NM- Appears 'as new', with no blemishes or aging seen. A minor 3/4" bottom seam tear is noted.

INV: 192

Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns.   If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.

Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example:    Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG  Playback Grade: NM
The reverse may also occur.  = Visual Grade: NM  Playgrade: VG
Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
