Metal pioneers BLACK SABBATH were reaching beyond their heavy musical roots by the time they recorded their fourth album in 1972, coming up with an amalgam of 

cLassic heavy riffing, a growing sense of melody, and even some touches of progressive rock.  The album endures as a classic today – even though it was almost derailed by the band’s 

growing substance abuse. Black Sabbath had never been shy about advertising their fondness for drugs, even recording an homage to marijuana titled ‘Sweet Leaf’ on the previous LP. But 

the musicians had taken a turn  into cocaine by 1972, and the effects of the drug informed many aspects of the new album, especially in the lyrics. Many of the album’s lyrics seemingly 

derive from the paranoid delusions of cocaine abuse, while the Sabbath classic ‘Snowblind’ is an open celebration of the drug that the group intended as the title song of the album until 

their nervous record company intervened.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

THIS IS 100% GUARANTEED!!

How I Grade Condition Of Discs

Mint

This means I have owned it from new or purchased from a distributors warehouse, basically it means absolutely new shape, never been played or out of its dust cover. In the case of LP's, a North American album will have to be factory sealed (anyone can reseal an album!) Take Note: European and Japaneses albums were never shrink wrapped!

Note: Being mint does not guarantee it's free of pops and clicks, many pressings especially from the US were made with very poor vinyl and in a hurry which means often there are imperfections in the pressing. As a former importer, we were often given back brand new albums due to clicks heard in the playback.

Mint Minus - No such thing, it's either mint or not.

Excellent - A disc is super clean, with no visible marks

 Excellent Plus, means it's probably mint but can't be proven by me.

Excellent minus, is a disc that is excellent except it may have some markings that do not show up in the playing

VG - A disc that is STILL in good shape, WILL have some scuffs or scratches, not in excellent shape but well worth owning. VG + and ++,a disc that is that much better than VG.

VG minus, just a smidgen below VG

Good - A disc that can be played, has obvious ware but is worth owning, a DJ copy of a rare early Motown for instance or a rare Doo-Wop or Northern Soul which could still be worth a fortune, Good Minus & Good Plus is a step above or below Good. In most cases I will not offer a disc in this condition unless it's rare and hard to find.

LABELS

Labels do not alter the grading of vinyl; many records are Excellent, looked after by the previous owner but still have their initials or markings on the label. A DJ copy will often have markings to show which side to be plugged, or the length of the intro. Many labels and covers in the US have been punched, that was done by the record company to show the disc was deleted and shipped out to mass retailers to sell cheap and could not be returned for a credit, this does not impede the value, many records eg Swan and VJ Beatles were done like that, also many promo lp’s were punched or slit to show they were provided as promotion and not charged to the client and no royalties paid to the artist
