Black Sabbath - VO6 

Vertigo - VO6

UK 1970

1st Press

Matrices 1Y//1 and 2Y//1

I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTONISHING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more in-depth observation. BLACK SABBATH - VO6- VERTIGO UK 1970
***********SUPERB CLASSIC ALBUM *******************
 THESE ARE GETTING IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN UP NOW IN ANY DECENT CONDITION!!
      Of course despite a few hairlines, there are NO skips, jumps, clicks or sticks. Unbelievably as it may sound there is not much background noise at all and whatever there might be gets drown out by the powerful songs. These earliest pressings are just bulletproof! I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!!

Vinyl: EX+.  Only two of the wispiest hairlines can be observed under an intense light. Stunning vinyl really, extremely rare to find it in this splendid condition.  At least 95% of Sabbath albums were totally trashed out.  This is a beauty with the only letdown being to initials on the label. The replay is stunning. I have played this all the way. Nothing ever compares to a first press and this is no different with fantastic stereo channel separation. There is NO crackle and hardly any static noise.  Of course NO skips, jumps or clicks. 

Gatefold Sleeve: EX+. A super sleeve!!! Rich colours, hardly any wear at all. NO writing, NO smudges. Beautiful straight edges with the only edgewear restricted to the bottom edge. The top edge has NO wear. the spine is fully 100% legible and looks as new. The inside gatefold is perfect. Two miniscule creases near the opening. this must rate as the best sleeve of this album I have ever come across (and I have seen a fair few).  An absolutely great sleeve, it will prove very hard to better this one.

Poster: EX+. This has the  4 fold  poster. It is in EX+ condition with just two light small creases. It has never been hung and has no holes or blutack traces. Only the very first batch had the poster which is now an elusive Sabbath artefact!!!

Swirl inner: EX. Sublime inner swirl sleeve with the correct datestamp. NO seamsplits, a little yellowing near the edges caused by age.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible, LEAVE ALONE IN THIS STUNNING EX CONDITION!!!

Labels are EX but there are initials on one side.

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!!

Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

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