BLACK SABBATH ''BLACK SABBATH VOL 4''  RAREST EVER TO FIND, VERTIGO SWIRL! IT IS BELIEVED THAT JUST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND WERE PRESSED ON THIS LABEL WITH THE PORKY AND PECKO MASTER ETCHINGS! AND TO TOP THIS OFF ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAVE HEARD!!!! AWESOME (RAREST EVER) BLACK SABBATH 1st UK PRESS GATEFOLD COVER IN SUPREME BARELY TOUCHED CONDITION!!!! TOP! TOP! AUDIO THROUGHOUT!!! THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO STILL THERE .

 Another from my personal collection!!! Purchased from new and has been kept in a case with the vinyl seperated from the cover to prevent ring wear! This is very very sought after original AND IN MY OPINION RAREST EVER UK press! Very rarely seen with the "PORKY and PECKO" etchings in the run-out groove .These were only put on a very limited amount of issues of this pressing!  Please note! I have all of the original UK Black Sabbath albums in my collection and I have played many copies of this album always striving to find the best and top quality available to me over the years! This vinyl is up there with the best that I have ever heard of this pressing! It is rare enough to find this label variation but to find it with very near perfect audio will be very hard to surpass and it has got to be a must for any avid Sabbath audiophiles or collectors out there!! 

Vinyl: EX . Stunning deep glossy and heavy vinyl. This has barely been played. A beautiful glossy vinyl with just two wispiest hairlines, totally unfeelable, on side A which is totally in audible on replay. Under a strong light just some wispy retraction paper traces can be seen. These are totally invisible in normal light. I subjected the record to a detailed listen on my high end system and it sounded stunning. Lovely channel separation without any distortion or crackle. This vinyl is a beautiful upgrade and one of the best I have ever seen. No "Made in England" on the label which again is evidence for a first press. One light yellow stain on label side one.

Gatefold sleeve: EX.  Without doubt one of the hardest gatefolds to still find intact!! A great matt sleeve with just only the very lightest of storage wear. In most cases the black coloured fields have worn badly. NOT THIS ONE!! It still looks incredible. Only the lightest wear on the edges top and bottom. The spine is still 100% legible. The opening is super crisp. This still has the inner photo booklet intact and attached but with a few creases to the pages. There are no creases to the sleeve itself apart from the miniscule obligatory edge creases, and there is no writing or foxing anywhere. This has to be seen in the flesh to be properly appreciated. The pictures give you some impression of the quality at hand in this auction.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 30.00.  In the UK, if over £100.00 this will be sent special delivery. Please wait for an amended invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
