BLACK SABBATH Vol.4 UK VERTIGO SWIRL RARER LABEL TYPE

Description

Detailed seller ratings:

Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do not bid if you expect something different from the listing.

Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

Feedback: I would appreciate your feedback after the sale and you have received your item and are happy with it. This means I can then leave feedback for you and our transaction is closed.

"Black Sabbath Vol. 4"

VERTIGO

UK 1st PRESS:

With "Made in England" text on label - much rarer than the version that doesn't have this wording - possibly as rare as "Spaceship" variant...

1. Small swirl logo above spindle on B side

2. 'VERTIGO' text above spindle hole

3. With Swirl inner sleeve

4. Howards Printers (Slough) gatefold sleeve with bound-in 4pp booklet

FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH

PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)

VINYL:

6 3 6 0 0 7 1 1 Y // 2 420 1 3 1 04

6 3 6 0 0 7 1 2 Y // 2 420 1 7 04

Excellent looking vinyl, nice thick slab, with only light superficial hairlines/scuffs/sleeve removal marks visible under strong light. Faint background crackle on run ins and in between tracks, faintly audible on the quietest musical sections such as "Changes" and "Laguna Sunrise" but not overly intrusive as the loud music easily covers the background noise, but it is audible on the quietest sections. There were NO pops or clicks throughout this record, on both sides. Very nice playing copy, easily EX audio (if not better on the louder tracks). Very nice copy.

Plays right through with no jumps or sticks, NO pops, NO clicks.

OUTER SLEEVE:

Overall I would grade the sleeve as excellent and one of the best I've seen, most are badly worn and foxed, this one is truly excellent (if not better). There is some slight ringwear/foxing visible to the front and to the rear. Spine is still perfectly legible. Made by Howards Printers (Slough) Ltd. No visible edge wear, looks superb (hint of a couple of very minor touch ups to corners) Looks nice overall though. No seam splits. No graffiti. No bad creases and certainly no rips. No sticker tears. No sticker glue residue or lift off. Very presentable copy. The bound in booklet is superb and one of the best I've seen as most usually start to lift away at the top of the binding, this one is perfect.

LABELS:

Excellent, NO graffiti but a fair few light spindle traces visible. Just to repeat, this label variation with "Made in England" is very rare (possible as rare as the rumoured 200 copies of the Spaceship variant), the version without this text is pretty much the only one you ever see on eBay.

INNER SLEEVE:

Vertigo swirl inner sleeve in excellent condition, with poly liner (slightly loose). Slightly browning with age. No graffiti.

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
