Up for auction is a very nice original pressing of the Black Sabbath album Mob Rules, originally released in the U.S. on Warner Bros Records (BSK-1-36056) in 1981:

-Guaranteed original pressing, not reissue -First pressing matrix reads:     -BSK-1-3605-S5#2+ SLM + ?976 TOWNHOUSE LONDON O
    -BSK-2-3605-S4#1 + SLM + ?976-X TOWNHOUSE LONDON O -Original WB poly inner sleeve -NOT common record club pressing like most on eBay
Note: Be aware that many of the "original" pressings of Mob Rules being sold on eBay are actually record club pressings which are not nearly as collectible as these original factory pressings.

Condition: Cover looks great, still has its original shine, no significant signs of wear or age.  Maybe a hint of rub top middle, but it's hard to see.  Seams are nice, no splits, clean.  Corners are nice, not creased or bumped.  Has a WB factory sticker on back upper right.  Very nice original! Grade: Excellent (EX)
Vinyl is also in great condition, still has its original glossy shine.  No apparent scratches or scuffs, just some faint superficial signs of having been taken out of inner sleeve a few times.  No marks around the spindle holes, labels are clean.  Looks like this records has maybe only been played once or twice previously but handled with care. Grade: Excellent (EX)


Combined Shipping:
Yes, I offer significant combined shipping discounts.  Just ask!

International Shipping:
Because of unreliable postal services, buyers in France and Italy must pay for Expedited international shipping, which includes tracking and insurance.  I've had too many records lost or damaged shipping to these countries.  Also, I do not ship to Central or South America, or China.

How I Pack Your Records:
I remove the records with inner sleeves from the covers prior to packing.  I sandwich the record between two pieces of cardboard for padding and protection.  I also reinforce the corners of the shipping box to protect the corners of the record jacket from damage.
