The record is solidly pressed with a thick square-cut rim edge. It retains a deep mirror-like shine and sits flat and true on the turntable. Visually I would grade both sides as close to EX, as there are a few light surface marks visible under bright light (mostly caused by taking the record in and out of the inner sleeve). The beautiful Vertigo Swirl labels are unmarked apart from some spindle traces near the center. There is barely any wear around the spindle hole.
PLAYGRADE ASSESSMENT:
This is a particularly vibrant and loud-cut pressing with stunning sound quality and amazing bass. All frequencies are crystal clear. There is no discernable deterioration in sound quality and barely any unwanted noise at all. Apart from a few soft ticks (6 or 7) during ‘Black Sabbath’ playback is near perfect with nothing to fault. A significantly better playing original copy of this seminal album may be difficult to find.
I listened to this entire album this morning on a Technics 1200MD with a Stanton T2 stylus and was blown away by the sound quality. If you haven't heard this epic masterpiece on vinyl, do yourself a favor!!!
Complete with the poly-lined Swirl inner sleeve which is in VG condition, with no splits but does have a few minor tears and yellowing.
The matrix numbers are...
Side A. VO6 1Y *1 420 1
Side B. VO6 2Y *2 420 1
This is the original gatefold non-laminated cover.
I would grade the cover VG because it has obvious corner and edge wear and a few minor creases that are only visable in the right light. Some people would grade this a VG+ but I am extremely picky when it comes to my vinyl.
PLEASE CLICK ON ALL THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE THEM SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT AN AWESOME RECORD THIS IS!!
The sleeve and vinyl are stored separately and will be shipped in a custom Wrapro record mailer with plenty of additional cardboard reinforcement.
Shipping costs are calulated based on your location. I will ship this record Worldwide!!
