Description
LP ZIOR BY ZIOR 1971 ORIGINAL UK RELEASE NEPENTHA LABEL CATALOGUE NUMBER 6437005
VINYL SIDE 1 IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. SIDE 2 IS IN EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION. I HAVE BEEN VERY FUSSY IN MY GRADING OF THIS MEGA RARE ITEM. IF YOU WIN IT I DO NOT THINK YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
THE 2 WHITE WITH BLUE AND PALE BLUE TURQUOISE FEATHER DESIGN LABELS WITH PURPLE AND PALE BLUE PRINT ARE IN PRISTINE MINT MINUS CONDITION. THE WHITE IS STILL VIRGINAL. THERE IS LITTLE SIGN OF SPINDLE WEAR
THE GATEFOLD COVER FRONT IS BETWEEN EXCELLENT PLUS AND MINT MINUS CONDITION. REAR IS BETWEN EXCELLENT AND EXCELLENT PLUS. THERE IS A VERY VERY TINY WHITE MARK WHICH REALLY IS VERY MINUTE ON THE BACK COVER. IN NO WAY DOES IT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THIS MEGA RARE ITEM. 9 OUT OF 10 SELLERS WOULD NOT EVEN MENTION THIS MINUTE MARK BUT I LIKE MY DESCRIPTIONS TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE.
THIS OUTER GATEFOLD FRONT COVER HAS A VERY EERIE PHOTO ARTWORK BY KEEF WHO DID THE COVER FOR THE FIRST BLACK SABBATH LP . IT IS VERY SIMILAR IN ITS STARK SOMEWHAT SINISTER AMBIENCE. ITS SPARSE AUTUMNAL RED, BROWN SILVER COPSE LIKE WOODLAND EFFECT WITH HINTS OF GREENERY HERE AND THERE WITH A STRANGE CHILD LIKE ALMOST ALIEN FIGURE ON THE BACK OF SOME UNDEFINED HORNED BEAST OF AN ANIMAL EVOKES THE SAME FEELING AS THAT CLASSIC SABBATH COVER. THE WORDS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER READ "LOVE CAN NOT EXIST IN HELL BECAUSE THE WORLD IS KIND TAKE A LOOK AND HELP YOURSELF BEFORE MY EYES GO BLIND"
THE SPINE OF THE COVER IS VERY STRONG AND STILL INTACT AND IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION
THE INNER GATEFOLD CENTRESPREAD FEATURES A PHOTO IN BLACK AND WHITE THAT IS TINTED TO GIVE A VERY DULL ALMOST METALLIC MAGENTA EFFECT OF 3 MEMBERS OF THE BAND .THE 4TH MEMBER IS CONSPICUOUS IN HIS ABSCENCE. THE MEMBER OF THE BAND WHO IS SEATED ON THE RUSTIC BARN FLOOR LOOKS LIKE A DEADRINGER FOR ROY WOOD OF THE MOVE CIRCA BRONTAUSAURUS. THIS INNER CENTREFOLD IS ONE HALF EXCELLENT PLUS AND THE OTHER HALF WHERE THE SET LIST I SHALL GRADE AS EXCELLENT. ONCE AGAIN THERE IS THE MOST MINUTEST OF MARKS THIS ONE IS EVEN TINIER THAN THE ONE ON THE REAR OF THE COVER. THERE AGAIN 9 OUT OF 10 PERSONS WOULD NOT BOTHER TO MENTION IT. NO WAY DOES IT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL EXCELLENT QUALITY. IT CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BE VISIBLE IN A PHOTO UNLESS THE PHOTO WAS LIFE SIZE.
