Black Sabbath: Master of Reality
First UK pressing. July 1971. Embossed Box Sleeve & Poster
Vertigo: 6360 050
Matrix: Side A - 6360050 1Y//1▽420 1 16 Matrix: Side B - 6360050 2Y//1▽420 1 2 1 3
Vinyl: VG+ Some hairlines & scuffs when held up to the light. Light spindle marks on both labels. Play tested on a Rega P3 with Exact cartridge. It has a full, powerful, rich sound with excellent dynamics and balance, a characteristic of original Vertigo pressings. On the minus side there are a few light clicks during 'Orchid'.
Cover: VG+ Original 1st issue `Howards Printers, Slough` laminated finish flip top box sleeve with embossed wording on the front. Clear readable spine. Has maintained its shape. Some slight laminate lift & creasing on sides. Common faults with this box cover.
Inner Sleeve: Nice condition original Vertigo Swirl inner. Has the date 0671 printed on the left hand side.
Poster: In excellent condition. I cannot vouch for its authenticity but it was included with the album when I bought it a couple of years ago. Size = 69cm x 46cm..
Overall a very decent first pressing of this iconic album complete with poster.
Am open to reasonable offers.
