THE ORIGINAL & TRUE 1ST ISSUE / RELEASE OF "MASTER OF REALITY" WITH MISPRINT LABELS.

• AS USUAL WITH EVERY LP I OFFER FOR SALE - IT HAS BEEN CLEANED AND RESTORED TO ITS OPTIMAL PLAYBACK PERFORMANCE & HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY PLAYTESTED SO THERES NO GUESSWORK LIKE OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH DECEIVING VISUAL INSPECTIONS TO GAUGE THE QUALITY OF PLAY - I LISTEN TO THESE VERY CLOSELY AND DISCERNINGLY, PARTICULARLY ON THE QUIETER PASSAGES AND TRACKS INCLUDING RUN INS AND OUTS, NOT SPOT CHECKED & NOT  JUST ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH TO ASSESS PLAY QUALITY.

OVERALL THIS LP OFFERS AN EXCELLENT LISTENING EXPERIENCE ON SIDE 1 AND A CONSERVATIVE VG ON SIDE 2 DUE EXCLUSIVELY TO A SMALL SCRATCH ON "LORD OF THIS WORLD" THAT CAUSES A REPEAT TICK FOR APPROX 30 SECS THAT IS MOSTLY OBSCURED BY LOUDNESS OF MUSIC, AND AS YOU USUALLY DISCOVER ON THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE "MoR's".......A SOLITARY SCRATCH ACROSS "SOLITUDE"  THAT CAUSES A REPEAT TICK THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE TRACK (ARGH!!!).  ASIDE FROM THESE 2 ISSUES, THE ENTIRETY OF THE LP PLAYS WITH A VERY CLEAN (NEAR SILENT) SOUNDSTAGE WITH NO ANNOYING BACKGROUND HISS OR CRACKLE.

VINYL DISPLAYS VERY NICELY SPORTING EXTREMELY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SIGNIFICANT WEAR TO/AROUND THE SPINDLE AREA.  

CORRECT EMBOSSED LETTER JACKET IS VERY SOLID LOOKING WITH LESS THAN NORMAL WEAR.  THE SPINE WHICH IS USUALLY PRETTY ROUGHED UP ON THESE IS EXCEPTIONALLY NICE LOOKING ON THIS ONE; GLOSSY WITH NO COLOR BREAKS, ALL LETTERING CLEARLY LEGIBLE, AND WEAR LIMITED TO TOP & BOTTOM CORNERS.  TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE SEAMS ARE TIGHT WITH MINOR WEAR.  FRONT OF JACKET DISPLAYS NICELY WITH VERY LIMITED WEAR TO SURFACE & NO SIGNIFICANT ALBUM IMPRESSION.

EXCEPTIONAL POSTER - CALL IT A CONSERVATIVE VF CONDITION...........NO RIPS, TEARS,  PINHOLES OR TAPE RESIDUE -  GREAT COLOR - NO FADING - AND IMPORTANTLY ... VERY MINOR COLOR LOSS LIMITED TO NEAR CENTER ALONG THE HORIZONTAL FOLD (see closeup pic).

ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS VERY NICE WITH SPLIT LIMITED TO ONE SIDE.

ALL IN ALL THIS IS A GOOD QUALITY PACKAGE AT A VERY DECENT PRICE FOR A MISPRINT LABEL COMPARED TO WHAT YOU SEE  OTHERS ASKING FOR LATER RELEASES OR BEAT UP LOOKING JUNK WITHOUT THE POSTER.
