Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years. My main interest has been PROGRESSIVE especially the VERTIGO SWIRL/SPIRAL LABEL, reputed to be the most collectable label in the world?

I have finally finished my SWIRL collection of over 160 albums of which most are UK pressings, and now I am going to SELL them ( I must be mad ). I have been quite fussy about the QUALITY, CONDITION and they must be the VERY FIRST PRESSINGS. The latter has been the hardest to decipher and has had me buying and selling many copies of the same album to achieve this,and I almost have with these collectable gems.

I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.

SO HERE WE GO.......

For sale here is --BLACK SABBATH--MASTER OF REALITY-- UK ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSING WITH VERY FIRST PRESSING SLEEVE,1971, stereo 6360 050 The 51st of 87 UK pressings on this label. MORE WILL FOLLOW!

SLEEVE.....BOX-TYPE and LAMINATED. This delicate laminated surface LOOKS TOP. It is in GREAT condition showing MINIMALwear. It is a GENUINE VERY FIRST PRESSING.  It is very square and UN-CRUSHED. Just a very small ammount of creasing and extremely light surface rub. The colours are very strong and vibrant LIKE NEW. The opening edge flaps are all intact and are in EX+ condition.The front is EX++with  NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKER TEARS, NO STICKERS,NO MISSING OR TORN LAMINATE, AND NO STAINING  . The rear  is in the same wonderful EX++ condition with NO RING WEAR.  The opening edges  are in lovely condition with no tears and no feathering. There is NO wear to the spine and all information is fully ledgible. The inner gatefold is in wonderful MINT condition.  This album comes with IT'S ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER SLEEVE in EX++ condition. All in all this is in wonderful condition for a 36 year old sleeve. EX++. 

POSTER.... Hard to find mint, and this one is not. The poster looks as bright and freshley pressed as the day it was printed! The only fault is that it has been pinned to a wall at some time and has pin holes in all corners. (There is a photo of the worst one, the others are hard to notice)EX++

LABELS.....There is NO unwanted writing, stickers or tears. there are very few very light spindle marks .STUNNING.N/ MINT,N/MINT

VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have their JUST PRESSED deep black shine. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see only light surface hair lines, there are no nasty marks or scratches. In normal daylight this album is AS NEW. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and FULL LINN component system and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of sound quality at all, wonderful sound stage and stereo seperation. There are NO POPS, NO CLICKS and NO SCRATCHES. There are only VERY,VERY MINOR,QUIET dust crackles that can only be heard between tracks, but a professional clean should sort out most of that. I have several copies of this great album but this copy sounds the best with truely wonderful clarity and presence. These HEAVY VINYL origional pressings are second to none. This really is a great copy that any collector would be delighted to add to their collection, a real KEEPER. I CANNOT STRESS ENEOUGH JUST HOW STUNNING THIS VINYL SOUNDS!! EX++/EX++ very nice indeed!! 

THIS IS GETTING VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION. IT IS RARE IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION.

DONT MISS THIS ONE.

THERE CANT BE ANY OTHERS LEFT IN THIS LOVELY CONDITION.
