Description
This LP is is getting rare in this great condition.
It's on the UK Vertigo swirl label and is entitled 'Black Sabbath' by Black Sabbath.
It's a stereo recording and the catalogue number is VO 6 (847 903 VTY). This album was originally released in 1970. It was the band's first album and is full of doom laden heavy psych rock music with Tony Iommi's guitar and Ozzie Osborne's vocals dominating throughout. It's a wonderful record.
OUTER SLEEVE - The gatefold sleeve is in fine condition. There is hardly any wear on the front and rear of the sleeve. The edges show some very minor wear and the spine is in fine condition (apart from a very thin crease mark which runs down the length of the spine as the sleeve has been opened and closed). The inner two halves of the sleeve are in superb condition. The wording along the spine is 100% readable. The legendary inverted cross on the inner sleeve features the poem - 'Still falls the rain...and the still falling rain' lyrics. It states on the inner side of the gatefold sleeve which has the black background and silver wording - 'PRODUCED BY ROGER BAIN OF TUESDAY PRODUCTIONS FOR TONY HALL ENTERPRISES - ENGINEERS - TOM ALLOM/BARRY SHEFFIELD - ALBUM DESIGNED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY KEEF'. I've graded the sleeve Ex-.
INNER BAG - This is an expanded Vertigo swirl, die cut type which is polythene lined. It shows some creasing on both sides.. It states at the bottom of both sides of the inner sleeve 'MADE IN ENGLAND British Patent No. 800513 & 973939 - PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS - TO AVOID SUFFOCATION KEEP THOS BAG AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN'. I've graded the inner bag as Ex-.
RECORD - The record is in really fine condition. It looks clean and appears to have been played a number of times. There are some very superficial marks on either side which do not affect the quality. It plays very well on both sides with some minor surface noise and some occasional pops and clicks on both sides. These blemishes do not detract from the overall quality of the record. There are no jumps on any of the tracks on either side.
LABELS - The labels are - side one - Vertigo black and white swirl design - side two - smaller Vertigo black and white swirl design with all track credits for sides one and two. There are some minor spindle marks around both holes. The labels are in overall fine condition with no damage. The third track of side two which is entitled 'Warning' has the DUNBAR credit printed next to it. The matrix numbers on the run-off grooves are - side one - VO6 1Y * 1 420 122 - side two - VO66 2Y * 1 121. I've graded the record Ex+.
I try to grade everything very conservatively and I believe that the winner of this auction will not be disappointed. I guarantee everything I sell. It will be difficult to find this record again in such a lovely condition.
THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS ITEM.
