145

A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND SOUNDING ORIGINAL 1971 1ST ISSUE MISPRINT LABEL.  LET'S FACE IT!! - THESE MISPRINT LABELS WHILE LESS NUMEROUS THAN THE REVISED 1ST ISSUE LABEL RELEASES, ARE NOT ALL THAT RARE OR HARD TO FIND - WHAT IS RARE IS FINDING ONE THAT DELIVERS A TRUE AUDIOPHILE LISTENING EXPERIENCE -  THEY ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN - THIS IS ONE THAT DOES!!!

IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW BETTER YOU'D SWEAR YOU HAD JUST TOOK THIS OUT OF JACKET FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME TO LISTEN TO - IT PLAYS/SOUNDS THAT NICE! - ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!!

NOTHING IS MORE ANNOYING AND AGGRAVATING THAN FINDING THIS CLASSIC SABBATH LP WITH ANNOYING POPS AND CLICKS ON THE 2 QUIETEST TRACKS (ORCHID & SOLITUDE) ON THE ALBUM.  FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON THESE TWO TRACKS SEEM TO ALMOST ALWAYS SUFFER FROM ABUSE AND PLAY WITH DISTRACTING POPS, CLICKS AND TICKS WHICH ABSOLUTELY RUIN THE MUSIC - NOT THIS ONE!!!

CLEANED AND THOROUGHLY PLAYTESTED - THIS VINYL IS READY FOR YOUR TURNTABLE!! 

LP HAS BEEN CLEANED USING A SPECIAL PROCESS TO REMOVE DUST AND DEBRIS FROM DEEP IN THE GROOVES RESULTING IN A LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT IS EXCELLENT AND AS CLOSE TO (IF NOT) AUDIOPHILE LISTENING QUALITY AS YOU'RE LIKELY TO EVER FIND - EXTREMELY CLEAN SOUNDING -  NO HISS OR CRACKLE DURING QUIET PASSAGES OR IN-BETWEEN TRACKS.  

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THE 2 TRACKS YOU MOST WANT TO SOUND GOOD ("ORCHID" & "SOLITUDE") BOTH PLAY BEAUTIFULLY STARTING IN PERFECT SILENCE AND PLAYING WITHOUT ANY ANNOYING POPS OR TICKS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WITHOUT ANY SURFACE NOISE (HISS/CRACKLE IN BACKGROUND).  "EMBRYO" THE INSTRUMENTAL LEAD-IN TO "CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE" PLAYS PERFECT AS WELL - PERFECT SILENCE AS IT CONCLUDES AND "CHILDREN" BEGINS.  "CHILDREN" FINISHES OFF PERFECTLY WITH NO AUDIO DISTRACTION (SURFACE NOISE) AS YOU HEAR THE HOWLING OF THE WIND AND THE HAUNTING VOICE OVER

VINYL SURFACE APPEARANCE IS WHAT I'D CALL EXC OVERALL - NO SCRATCHES ON EITHER SIDE - JUST LIGHT SCUFFING AND SOME VERY LIGHT HAIRLINES.  

ORIGINAL VINTAGE POSTER IS EXC++/MINT WITH NO FLAWS - NO PINHOLES, TAPE RESIDUE OR ANY DEFACEMENT WHATSOEVER.  GREAT COLOR - NO COLOR BREAKS ALONG FOLDS TO SPEAK OF

EMBOSSED JACKET IN VG+ TO EXC SHAPE -  STILL WRAPPED IN CELLO - NO WEAR TO FACE OR BACK.  HAS VERY MINOR IMPACT CREASE TO BOTTOM CORNER OF SPINE AND SOME WEAR TO BOTTOM CORNER OF INSERT SIDE.

ORIGINAL WB VINYL SLEEVE - HAS SMALL SEAM SPLITS TO BOTH SIDES.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WHAT IS ONE OF THE NICEST ALL AROUND EXAMPLES OF THIS CLASSIC BLACK SABBATH ALBUM -  DON'T PASS THIS ONE BY - A NEAR FLAWLESS PLAYING MISPRINT LABEL IS INCREDIBLY TOUGH TO FIND - I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE SEVERAL COPIES IN POSSESSION THAT DON'T PASS MY STANDARDS FOR SALE.
